What to Know
We've got another exciting American Athletic matchup on schedule as the South Florida Bulls and the Charlotte 49ers are set to tip at 4:00 p.m. ET on March 2nd at Dale F. Halton Arena. South Florida is coming into the match hot, having won their last 13 games.
Winning is just a little bit easier when your shooting is a whole 17.4% better than the opposition, a fact South Florida proved on Sunday. They came out on top against the Mustangs by a score of 79-68.
Kasean Pryor was the offensive standout of the match as he almost dropped a double-double on 19 points and nine rebounds. Selton Miguel was another key contributor, scoring 18 points.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Charlotte last Saturday, but the final result did not. They fell just short of the Golden Hurricane by a score of 69-67. Charlotte got off to an early lead (up 14 with 4:17 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren't able to maintain that momentum.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Lu'Cye Patterson, who scored 20 points along with five assists. He didn't help Charlotte's cause all that much against the Tigers last Wednesday but the same can't be said for this matchup.
The Bulls' win was their 12th straight at home, which pushed their record up to 21-5. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 80.9 points per game. As for the 49ers, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 17-10.
South Florida will be fighting an uphill battle on Saturday as the experts have pegged them as the four-point underdog. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a five game streak of covering the spread when playing as the underdog.
South Florida skirted past the 49ers 72-69 in their previous meeting back in February. The rematch might be a little tougher for South Florida since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
