No. 7 Houston hosts Utah amid win streaks

No. 7 Houston (14-3, 6-0 Big 12) is set to host Utah (11-6, 3-3 Big 12) in a conference matchup following Houston's narrow 69-68 win over UCF, extending their winning streak to 10 games. Houston has maintained an impressive home record, currently on a 32-game home win streak, the longest in the nation. Utah, struggling with consistency, is looking to improve after a mixed performance in their last five games, including a significant loss to Texas Tech. The Utes rank fifth in the Big 12 with an average of 80.2 points per game but face a tough challenge against Houston's strong defense. The match has been rescheduled due to severe weather conditions in Houston, with forecasts predicting heavy snow. Both teams are pushing for a competitive edge as they vie for better standings in the Big 12.
