South Florida vs Florida Atlantic Prediction 3/2/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a South Florida vs Florida Atlantic Prediction for this college basketball game on Sunday, March 2nd, at the USF Su Dome. Let’s take a look at a USF Bulls vs FAU Owls pick. 

When these two teams faced off in February, FAU won 94-72. The home team has won the last four games. 

FAU is Ice Cold 

FAU is ice-cold heading into this game, and while some teams are getting hot, it appears they are heading in the wrong direction. FAU has lost three games in a row, each of which has been by at least seven points. In the last game against North Texas, the offense scored 61 points while the defense gave up 71 points, and they know the offense needs to be better here. At halftime, they were down only three, but in the second half, the offense only managed 27 points. Two games ago, the defense was even worse against Memphis, and they lost 84-65.

FAU has a 15-13 overall record and is 10-17 against the spread. This season’s offense has been good, but the defense has been awful all year, giving up 76.3 points per game. If they want any chance to make a run, they need to start playing a little more defense. Forward Kaleb Gleen has been the top player, averaging 12.8 points while shooting 54.6 percent from the field. 

Why FAU WIll Beat South Florida

• South Florida has lost each of its last five day games against the American Athletic Conference.
• Florida Atlantic has won each of its last three day games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

South Florida Fell Just Short

In the last game, South Florida faced off against Temple, and they were competitive, but they fell just short. South Florida scored 71 points, but the defense gave up 73. They were up by three points at halftime, but in the second half, they blew it. South Florida shot 49.1 percent from the field, and all the stats pointed toward them; they just couldn’t make the shots late. Jamille Reynolds had a strong game, putting up 17 points, six rebounds, and two assists. 

South Florida has a 13-16 record overall, but they have actually gone 8-5 at home. The biggest issue for South Florida has been inconsistency, and right now, the defense is giving up 74.4 points per game. The defense will need to be better against a strong offensive team. De’Antre Green has been shut down for the rest of the season because of a foot injury. Jamille Reynolds has been the top player, averaging 13.2 points while shooting 53.8 percent from the field. 

South Florida vs Florida Atlantic Prediction

All streaks are meant to be broken, and this one concerns the home team winning the last eight games between the two squads. Both of these defenses are similar and bad, but one team is better with the offense. FAU’s offense has been running up the score all season, averaging 78 points per game. South Florida’s offense hasn’t been awful, but their defense isn’t going to make enough stops here. South Florida is 0-4 against the spread in their last four games as home underdogs. FAU will get the offense out to a fast start, and they will cruise. Back FAU against the spread. In terms of the total, this game will have zero defense played, and it will go well over the total. Don’t be afraid to bet on both of these picks.
