The South Florida Bulls are averaging 62.4 points on 41.7 percent shooting and allowing 68.2 points on 41 percent shooting. Keyshawn Bryant is averaging 11.3 points and 0.7 assists, while Tyler Harris is averaging 11.3 points and 2.5 rebounds.

The Saint Joseph’s Hawks are allowing 32.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32.3 rebounds per game.

The South Florida Bulls simply can’t score the basketball, as they have yet to top 67 points through 5 games. I don’t expect things to improve on the end of a back to back, where tired legs are usually an issue. The Saint Joseph’s Hawks are battle tested with games against Georgia and Houston, and they’ve shown some flashes on defense. I just can’t get behind USF. Give me Saint Joseph’s and whatever the line is.
