There’s a big difference between making pre-season predictions when you haven’t seen incoming freshmen and transfers play nor the growth of returning players, then when making predictions after you see them play. The former is a virtual crap-shoot, and is engaged in to have fun.

Still believe to this day I got Temple wrong because I placed my belief in Temple’s new coach. And even then, I picked Temple with some reservations that unfortunately proved true.

With regard to Houston, I think they’re really good and one of the AAC ‘s best teams, if not the best, but Houston is not the nation’s 7th best team. As Houston is not a good shooting team, but wins games because of it’s ability to control the offensive glass.

When Houston faces teams in the NCAA tournament who can both defensively rebound the ball and shoot far better than Houston does, Houston will not likely win.

houston vs south carolina
houston 37 rebounds 12 offensive rebounds---south carolina 37 rebounds 12 offensive rebounds

Houston did not outrebound south carolina..south carolina was a preseason top 70 team

houston without its head coach (kelvin), #2 coac (kellen), preseason player of the year (mills), leading scorer (sasser), starting pg barely playing from bad foul trouble (dejon)

beat south carolina by double digits
