South Florida at Houston

Premium Pick

South Florida actually has done better than expected this season, even with just a 6-10 record as coach Brian Gregory has cobbled together a roster of transfers. The Bulls come off a 75-51 rout of Central Florida on Saturday with Javon Greene leading the way with 19 points and nine rebounds, and the Knights were held to 33% shooting overall and two of 20 on 3-pointers. This is a look-ahead game for Houston, which has a big revenge game on deck against East Carolina, which beat the Cougars as a 16.5-point underdog in February. Houston barely held off Tulsa, 66-64, as an 11.5-point favorite on Saturday. The last three meetings have gone OVER by an average of 21.3 points for the game, and the Bulls came out and scored 35 first-half points against UCF. Also, Houston averages 40 points in the first half. Take South Florida for the game and the first half OVER.
