COLLEGE HOOPLA:
#844 3* South Florida +8 Temple 2 PM ET EspnU
South Florida has been good to us as a conference HD and we’ll back them again. The Bulls have covered their last 4 at home and have done so by over 7 PPG. USF gets overlooked because they are 1-16 SU in conference action but while they are allowing over 50% shooting on the AAC road they are only allowing 40.4% at home. Temple has covered just one game in their last 9 and have been a conf AF twice this year pushing the spread in an 8 pt win at Tulane and losing outright as a 6.5 pt AF at East Carolina, which was their last road game almost 3 weeks ago (2/15).
(write-in) #881 3* Purdue -4 Northwestern 4:30 CBS
Some may say Purdue doesn’t have anything to play for after clinching the Big10 Title on Thursday thanks to Iowa beating Wisconsin. Their HC thinks otherwise and I agree as he talked about their most recent road games which was an outright loss at Michigan and a 4 point win at Penn St (lost ATS , -7). NW on the flip side is off what many called “Northwestern’s biggest EVER CBB win”. The reason it was so big is because the Wildcats (21-9, 10-7) have NEVER topped 20 wins and the last time they had a winning B10 record was 1968! Almost everyone has NW in the tourney and now they have to play the best team in the conference with most importantly the best defense.
