After cruising to their fourth straight victory against Rutgers University, the SMU Mustangs (15-4, 4-2) will look to continue their good fortune.

They will travel to Hofheinz Pavilion Sunday to face a formidable foe in Houston at 2 p.m.

This match up will feature two teams that are on a hot streak. Since winning five straight to open the season, the University of Houston Cougars lost five out of seven.

Since then, however, they’ve beaten University of Connecticut, lost by one point to the University of Cincinnati (undefeated in conference play), and rolled over Rutgers.

The Mustangs will look for solid play from their two best players: Nic Moore and Markus Kennedy.

Moore has averaged 10.3 points and 4.8 assists during the win streak, while Kennedy has averaged 15.8 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks and steals.

Houston, meanwhile, will need a big game from TaShawn Thomas.

Their best player, Thomas leads the team in points, rebounds, steals, blocks and minutes per game as well as field goal percentage.

He is arguably one of the biggest game-changers that no one talks about.

SMU will have to keep an eye out for L.J. Rose.

While not setting the world on fire with points (9.2 per game), he leads the team in assists with 5.2 per game and keeps opponents honest with a respectable three-point field goal percentage of .406.

As former Conference USA opponents, the Mustangs and Cougars have plenty of history. Houston leads the series 45-24 and swept SMU last season.

However, fielding an arguably better team this season, the Mustangs could pull that up to 25 on Sunday.

Following the test at Houston, the Mustangs will travel to the University of South Florida.

SMU has already beaten the Bulls once this season in a 71-54 trouncing. That victory came at home, though.

The clash will take place Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the USF Sun Dome.
