L.J. Cryer point scoring prop bet was set at 17.5 at BetUS. 

Cryer is scoring 15.6 points per game and averaging 2.3 rebounds for the Cougars.

Cryer contributed 26 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 40 minutes during Saturday's 70-67 victory over Duke.

From Rotowire:

"Cryer posted his second-highest scoring total of the tournament while matching his single-game postseason high in three-pointers made, helping keep the Cougars competitive early despite things looking very bleak. While Emanuel Sharp was the hero down the stretch, Houston wouldn't have even been in a position to make a comeback had it not been for Cryer keeping the Cougars within reach. He'll likely need another big effort Monday in order to keep up with a red-hot Walter Clayton and a surging Florida team."

“Our best player, the guy that kept us in the game, was L.J.,” Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said of Cryer. “He kept us in touch with them. So when the time came, we had an opportunity to get the lead down where we could put some game pressure on them.”

Sampson envisioned Cryer as more of a scorer than a playmaker when he landed in Houston.

“He told me he was going to hold me accountable every single day, especially my defense,” Cryer said Sunday. "He said I was a terrible defender, but he was going to change that. He said, ‘We’re going to get you in good shape and you’re going to be a helluva player if you play for me.’ I trusted him.”
