Aside from losing Jamal Shead to the NBA, this Cougars squad is largely the same as last year (eighth in minutes continuity, per KenPom.com). <br><br>Houston is on a 17-game win streak, and its opponent scored fewer than 70 points in 16 of those games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duke has been dominant so far, as many expected.
