Although the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles were competitive with St. Mary's and are not exactly pushovers, it is reasonable to wonder if they have enough depth to match the Cougars' efforts.
The Cougars, who are perhaps the best team in the nation, have put out an unbelievable defensive effort through two games.
Pick: Houston -19.5 (-110)
