Houston will try to keep the momentum from its record-setting offensive showing when the 25th-ranked Cougars travel up Interstate 45 for a battle with short-handed SMU on Wednesday at Moody Coliseum in Dallas.
It's the penultimate regular-season American Athletic Conference game for both teams and will have little to say on the league standings.
If Houston wins Wednesday and beats Connecticut at home on Sunday, it can still win the league title depending on how the two teams fare that are in front of the Cougars, but that's a longshot. Houston (22-6, 12-4 in AAC play) can finish no lower than third, a seeding that will allow it to miss the first day of play in the American Athletic Conference tournament.
