T.M. Selection: South Florida.

I like South Florida to cover the spread against East Carolina in this game on Thursday. South Florida has lost 3 games in a row now and I think it is time for them to end that losing skid with a win here on their home court. South Florida hasn't been great this year but neither has East Carolina and I think this is a good spot for South Florida to win a game. East Carolina has been struggling in their conference play just like South Florida and they are 3-9 this year. East Carolina has also had issues in their road games though and they are 1-5 in road games this year. East Carolina did win over Tulsa over a week ago, giving them their 1st road win this year, but they have still lost 7/8 games of their previous 8 and they haven't looked good lately. The win over Tulsa isn't impressive since Tulsa is the only team in their conference that is lower in the standings than both East Carolina and South Florida. Their 3 most recent road games were all losses by 10+ points and 2 of those losses were even by 20+ points. Both of these teams have been bad all year but South Florida has a much better chance of winning this game on their home court and I think they are due for a bounce back win here. East Carolina has had issues in road games lately and those issues have gone on all year, I don't see them playing well in this road game since they haven't in most of their road games. I like South Florida to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 67-62 South Florida.
