AAA's 10* EARLY TIP *Temple/South Florida* BLOCKBUSTER!
(NCAAB) Temple vs. South Florida,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -106.00 South Florida (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* SUPER-BLOWOUT on South Florida.

For a number of different reasons I think that the home side can keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe and expect it to at the very least sneak in through the back door down the stretch with what I deem to be a healthy amount of points afforded to it in this one. South Florida has gotten progressively better as the season has worn on and will be especially motivated here after coming off a near upset of conference-leader Tulsa on Saturday, eventually succumbing 78-71 in OT on Saturday. Previous to that USF would trail by just four points midway in its 63-52 loss to SMU which is currently ranked No. 23 in the nation, while in the game prior to that the Bulls lost 66-53 at defending national champion UConn after cutting the deficit to two points midway through the second half. One player to keep your eyes on today is the Bulls Corey Allen Jr., who had 30 points for the second time this year in the team's last setback. It's been close but no cigar for the Bulls, there's no question in my mind they'll be the "hungrier" team today. Conversely, I think this sets up as a bit of a letdown spot for Temple which is coming off a 55-37 win over Tulane on Saturday, the team's third consecutive victory. And note that this sets up as a revenge game for the home side after it fell 73-48 on January 22nd in Philadelphia. Note that Temple is just 4-6 ATS this year after allowing 60 points or less, while USF is 5-2 ATS off a loss vs. a conference rival this season and already 1-0 ATS in revenging a road loss vs. an opponent. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends do all indeed point to SOUTH FLORIDA as the savvy move in this one.
