rare 5.5* NCAA play of the day goes tonight

[Pick Bot]

South Florida +2.5 (5.5* NCAAB POD)
A ranked opponent on a Friday night in South Florida.  South Florida’s only loss at home was to Uconn by just 3 points this team shoots the ball well 46.8% at home and plays good defense and rebounds the ball.  Seton Hall now in the top 25 backed it up by beating Depaul at home, but we will see what they really have going on the road for the first time since being ranked.  Normally this ends with a team getting knocked out of the rankings.  Seton Hall is riding high and I doubt they are giving South Florida much respect, but they’re 8-1 at home and are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 as a home dog between .5 and 6.5 points.  I think Seton Hall’s struggles at the FT line especially on the road (50.9% in 4 games) is a red flag while South Florida is around 70% I think this could be a real advantage tonight, but overall they shoot for a higher % and defense for a lower % at home than Seton Hall does away.  Seton Hall may be dominant at home but going on the road against a hungry team I don’t know that they can win their 5th straight.
