Friday’s Best College Basketball Bets: South Florida vs. Memphis
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
South Florida vs. Memphis
The Tigers are one of two ranked teams in action tonight. Oddsmakers love them to pick up their 12th win in 13 games. Though they've won their last two games by seven or fewer points, both of those contests were played away from home. The Tigers have won four of their last five home games by double figures.
The Bulls enter this game as losers of three consecutive and six of their last seven. Their only win since February 9th is a five-point victory over the lowly UTSA Roadrunners. They scored just 65 points on their way to a 15-point loss against the Tigers in mid-February.
This is a large spread, but the Tigers are the class of the AAC, and the Bulls are sputtering to the finish line. Even if the Bulls were playing better entering this game, the Tigers would still be the right play at this number.
Pick: Memphis -13.5 (-110)
