The Houston Cougars will be happy to get out of the Big 12 gauntlet and get back to beating up on overmatched competition which they are notorious for in the non-conference. The Cougars opened 23-2 this season with their only losses to Tennessee by 3 and Texas Tech by 4. They take on a Idaho team that benefited from getting to play the Big Sky Tournament in their home state. Idaho lost to Sam Houston State by 26 in the non-conference. The Vandals only played one team ranked inside the Top 100 which was Notre Dame in a 15-point loss. This will be far and away their stiffest test of the season. Take Houston.
