Texas A&M-CC vs. Houston Prediction

I’m taking Houston here. All Houston normally does against inferior teams at home is blow them out of the water and I expect this game to be no different. The Islanders leave a lot of points at the foul line and Houston doesn’t give out many free opportunities to begin with so I think Houston’s going to roll in this game as the Islanders get run out of the gym early. Give me Houston here.
