Consistency has always been one of Sasser’s hallmarks. He has scored at least 19 points in three of Houston’s four games.

Freshman forward Jerace Walker added 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting and six rebounds. A likely lottery pick in next year’s NBA Draft, Walker is averaging 13.0 points and 7.3 rebounds.

Roberts scored 10 points on Wednesday at Houston shot 51.7% (31 of 60). The Cougars had assists on 19 of those baskets and outscored Texas Southern 50-24 in the paint.

Houston allowed Texas Southern to shoot just 36.7% (18 of 49) overall and 18.8% (3 of 16) from beyond the arc. The Cougars have held each of their opponents to 37% or less.

Houston turned 18 turnovers into 21 points while having just seven giveaways.

Against Montana State, freshman center Kal’el Ware led Oregon with 16 points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench. He doubled his career high in scoring.

Senior guard Will Richardson had 12 points and six assists and senior forward Quincy Guerrier contributed 11 points and seven rebounds. Bittle and Barthelemy, a transfer from Colorado, added 10 points apiece.

Houston vs Oregon Trends

Houston rolled to a 78-49 victory over Oregon last season at Paradise, Nev. Sasser had 14 points for the Cougars. Houston isn’t likely to win this meeting by the large of margin but is perhaps the best team in the country and capable of covering the spread on the road.

Pick: Houston -6.5 (-110)
