Houston Cougars aim for another blowout win as Kelvin Sampson faces off against the Utah Utes, a team reeling from a lackluster Pac-12 run. Can Houston's dynamic guard duo, Milos Uzan and Kingston Flemings, seize the opportunity to dominate against Utah's porous defense and limited offensive threats?

Parker Ainsworth spotlights key matchups, including Chris Cenac versus Keanu Dawes, and explains why shutting down top scorers Terence Brown and Don McHenry could be the recipe for victory. The discussion covers Houston’s superior rebounding, turnover margin, and the importance of guard play heading into a challenging stretch of Big 12 opponents. With Houston favored to win by almost 20 points, the episode explores the Cougars’ path to a statement victory and the potential for offensive growth. Will Myles Uzan bounce back and ignite Houston’s offense?
