Houston doesn’t need to prove anything. The Cougars are laying waste to competent mid-majors like clockwork. They dispatched their first four opponents by the following margins: 35, 38, 26 and 47.
Sunday’s tilt against Oregon offers an opportunity to firmly validate that dominance against a heavyweight opponent (for any foolish remaining skeptics). Granted, the Ducks are no Mike Tyson.
In two of Oregon’s first three contests, the Ducks handled their business. But when a pesky UC Irvine squad came to Eugene on November 11, cracks began to surface. The lingering effect of an offseason slowed by injuries showed Oregon’s diminishing depth — particularly in the backcourt.
There’s no shame in losing to UC Irvine, a respected Big West program. But it’s certainly a bad omen for what awaits the Ducks in Houston.
