South Florida vs. Memphis CBB Prediction:
Given Memphis’s strong performance this season and South Florida’s recent struggles, there’s little doubt the Tigers will win this game outright. The Bulls’ recent offensive challenges and Memphis’s potent offense also give me reason to back the Tigers at the window. South Florida is just 3-7 straight up over its last 10 games. They also failed to cover in seven of those games.
I’m laying the 13.5 with Memphis at Bovada.lv.
