Point Spread Pick
South Florida -6.0(-115)

The DNA of many plays that I make is rooted in fading hype, or going against the grain when it comes to public perception. As such, Memphis would traditionally tick a lot of boxes. But there are exceptions. To put this frankly, the Bulls are the better team and they are getting ready for what could be a deep run through the American Athletic Conference Tournament and then March Madness.

USF is projecting on to many brackets, some have South Florida situated as a fabled #12 seed which already puts them into a scenario where they can be a potential upset orchestrator as the 5/12 pairing in the Men’s Basketball Tournament is notorious for such events. However, let’s bring this to back to their assignment here against the Tigers. The Bulls already whacked the Memphis by 21 in Tampa just weeks ago, and Memphis hasn’t really done anything since then to help their cause. The Tigers have dropped six straight and they seem to be getting more imperiled in each game that they play. Most notably, a 16-point drubbing they took most recently on Sunday thanks to East Carolina. Until Memphis proves it can actually play some form of credible basketball, fade them. Bulls roll.
