These teams met last month. East Carolina only managed 50 points. Yet the total still went Over. Now we have a much smaller total for the rematch. It's too short of a total given Houston's scoring ability and tendency to run up scores, which it did against the Pirates in the first meet.

Houston poured in 94 points against East Carolina. That was the most points the Cougars had scored since their opening game versus non-league opponent Alabama A&M.
