Houston has a gaudy record but I think there are still many who are wondering just how good this Cougars team is. They are about to find out.
Georgia State has experience in the NCAAs including a memorable upset just a few years back. Their coach will have them ready. .
Houston Cougars
The Cougars closed their season with a bit of a dud, losing to Cincinnati in the AAC Conference Tournament. Still they have a wonderful year and are poised for more.
There are lot of things to like about this team. For starters they play great defense, 8th in points allowed and first in the nation in FG% allowed.

Next they have a great shot maker in Corey Davis Jr. If you are going to be factor in the Tournament you have to have a go to player and he definitely gives them that.
The only thing the Cougars do not really have is any significant size, but I don’t think that is going to be a deficit the Panthers are going to be able to exploit.
Georgia State Panthers
The Panthers are no fluke. They earned this spot as the regular season and tournament champions out of the Sun Belt.
They definitely prefer to focus on offense. They showed good balance in the SBC title game with all five starters scoring 10 or more points.

Junior guard D’Marcus Simonds is the lead dog at 18ppg. He was better last year though (21ppg). He and Alabama transfer Devin Mitchell form a potent backcourt, 30ppg.
This is very likely going to be a small ball game. For Georgia State to stay in it they are going to really have to rebound. That is not a strength.

Free Houston Cougars vs. Georgia State Panthers NCAAB Prediction:
The number on this one showing Houston a lot of respect. They deserve but I get nervous about big numbers in games like this.
If the Cougars are sluggish early I still expect them to win but a working margin of 15 can become 9 so easy in the last couple of minutes. .

I am looking for Houston to control the game but the offenses to never really get on track..
