Previewing BYU vs. Houston: A Critical Matchup

BYU is set to face Houston this Saturday, seeking redemption after a difficult series of losses. Despite starting the season with potential, BYU has faced a disappointing trend, losing four out of their last five games. Their opponents included Texas Tech, Arizona, Kansas, and most recently, a tough battle against Oklahoma State, ending with a 99-92 score.

As BYU prepares to take on Houston, they are up against a strong team where Houston is favored by 2.5 points on the road. This raises questions about whether it's a strategic time to support BYU, especially when considering their recent performance challenges. The consecutive losses, particularly the ones against Kansas and Oklahoma State, have showcased a pattern where BYU struggles to bounce back, impacting their overall momentum.

The spotlight is also on a key player expected to be a top pick in the NBA draft. Despite his anticipated professional future, the immediate focus is on how BYU can overcome their habit of trailing early in the game, requiring significant comebacks that have not always been successful. The upcoming game against Houston is critical, and without a strong start, BYU risks the game slipping away by halftime.
