The South Florida Bulls used a sticky defense to cover a lot of offensive shortcomings last season and were able to make a run in the NCAA Tournament. They are 10-9 this season and are employing the same tactics. However, the offense is even worse than a year ago. No one averages even 11ppg for the Bulls, and their top two scorers both shoot under 40% from the floor. The Bulls are, however, still getting it done on the defensive end as they have held 11 teams in the 50s on the season. Marquette is 11-0 at home and their scoring numbers are a bit inflated as three of their last six games have gone to overtime where a total of 61 points were scored, adding over 20 points a game to the final scoring numbers. The Bulls methodical slow tempo has led the way to a 17-5 UNDER mark in their last 22 on the road. Play the UNDER.

Pro Picks
South Florida at Marquette
South Florida has been amongst the surprises in the Big East and is a team that has now won five of their last six and covered seven of their last nine. The Bulls make their living on the defensive end of the court and like to run a slow offense that goes deep into the shot clock to limit opponents. The Bulls have used this strategy to hold their last 11 opponents to a stingy 56.7 points per game. The Golden Eagles like to get it up and down quickly, but struggled against Wisconsin, Pitt, and the Syracuse zone, and they will see something similar to those tough defenses here - at a slower pace. The Bulls have had success employing this strategy resulting in a 20-8 UNDER mark in their last 28 on the road vs. a team with a winning home record. The last four in this series have all gone UNDER, and once again that is where the value is. Play the UNDER.
