South Florida Bulls vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane Predictions 2/15/2023
Tulsa served as the conference’s doormat, while USF was the American’s go-to target. Tulsa had just one conference victory, sandwiched between two in-conference losing runs of six games.
They’ll want to avoid losing to a school they controlled for years for the seventh time in a row. According to KenPom, which currently ranks Tulsa at 281, they are the American Conference institution with the lowest ranking.
This year, they won four of their five games at home. The Golden Hurricane, who are ranked 116th in adjusted tempo, play at a pace comparable to that of the Bulls.
Both metrics rank them 10th in the conference, at 30.9% three-point accuracy and 42.0% overall. Both ratios rank higher than 300 nationally.
Defense is also a problem as they rank 351st nationally and allow 77.8 points per game, which is the lowest number in the conference.
Tulsa, which ranks 336th in the country and is bottom in America, is opposed by opponents 46.8% of the time. Their opponents can only score three points on 31.5% of their attempts, ranking 61st in the nation.
- The total went OVER in 10 of the Golden Hurricanes’last 13 matches.
- The Tulsa Golden Hurricane is 0-6 SU in their last 6 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 6 of Tulsa’s last 7 matches against South Florida.
South Florida Bulls vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The NCAAB pick for this game is the South Florida Bulls. Although South Florida is by no means a dominant force, I’d feel extremely confident taking them at a spread bigger than this.
The worst defense in both the American Conference and all of college basketball this year belongs to Tulsa. Their offensive performance this year ranks among the lowest in the country.
Not only do they lose, but they also routinely fail to cover against spreads of double digits. They do not have a home-court advantage because they are 1-8-2 ATS when playing at home.
Because USF is the superior team, they will thrash the opposition in a game that they can win. The South Florida Bulls will win to a predicted score of 78-73.
