South Florida at Memphis

South Florida has another tough test here against No. 23 Memphis, but this Bulls team is 4-1 on the road. This is the third consecutive game South Florida's opponent will be ranked in the top 25.  They've been slowing it down and concentrating on defense, allowing Cincinnati 61 points in a 61-54 defeat two games ago. They lost to this Memphis team by 14 in December in an uptempo game, 88-73, but are slowing things down more now.  South Florida is fifth in the conference in points allowed and field goal shooting defense, just 39.8% shooting by opponents. Memphis is a terrible free throw shooting team, as usual, which makes it tough with covers with the Tigers 1-4 ATS in their last five home games, as well as 1-5 ATS in their last six Sunday games. When these rivals meet, the road team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings, so grab the big dog. Play South Florida.
