Trends

South Florida is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games and 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 road games. The over is 10-1 in South Florida’s last 11 road games. Wichita State is 17-36-2 ATS in their last 55 home games and 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games following an ATS win. The over is 6-0 in Wichita State’s last 6 home games.

Pick

South Florida doesn’t have the best record, but they have played well this year and are headed in the right direction. The Bulls have won three games in a row and have scored 71+ points in each game. Wichita State has won three of their last five games and they have played in high scoring games recently. Both teams have been scoring with ease on the offensive end of the court and I like the over here. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
