Both of these teams have struggled in Big East play this season. That will likely continue as the talent-rich Big East has not found itself suiting up in this game. The Blue Demons have already dropped their first three Big East tilts by double-digits. Their biggest problem is putting the ball in the basket. Dar Tucker leads them in scoring, but at 19.5 points per game, he is shooting at just 41% and 31% from beyond the arc. Four of the next top five scorers are even worse at 38% or less from the floor. The three-point threat from this team is virtually non-existent as after Tucker's poor 31%, not a single Blue Demon player is over 29% - most far below that. That makes it tough to be laying medium numbers. South Florida will keep this one close because they don't have a lot of empty trips due to careless play. The Bulls turn the ball over just 12 times a game and with the Blue Demons launching bricks that will be a key factor here. I'll ride with the Bulls plus the points on the road.
