South Florida Bulls @ Wichita State Shockers

Wichita State Shockers -8 1/2

Willing to lay a big number with Wichita State here coming off of a subpar performance last time out against Temple. Super impressed with the guard play of Shockers Justin Hill & Xavier Bell.  6'11" manchild Quincy Ballard controls the paint on both sides of the court. This is a balanced offense, getting double digit scoring from 4 players, with a 5th player averaging 9.4 points per game, so they can ride a hot hand when needed.

Wichita State is 7-1 at home, while South Florida has yet to taste victory on the road at 0-3.

South Florida hasn't played a game since December 31st, so rust could play a factor, while Wichita State just played a game 3 days ago on January 3rd.

And finally, it's a division game where South Florida currently sits 4th in the AAC, while Wichita State sits 9th in the AAC. So, focus should be there for the Shockers.

All of that guarantees diddly squat, so lets see what happens.

7pm est tip-off

Snowing here in the northeast, so sitting here drinking a latte looking at games.

Looking at the Rutgers/Wisconsin game as well.

 WSU is due for a DD cover at HOME

Shockers tough to figure out IMO but probably a good spot for them to get a big win.  They have lost at home to UMKC already although the Kangaroos are better than normal this year but also crushed Kansas State by 19

First road game for South Florida since December 14th, which is 23 days.

Interesting

Good luck ESB.  

ESB, Is Dylan Harper playing for Rutgers tonight? He was out last game and the other freshman Ace Bailey had 39 to keep them close vs Indiana but if Harper is out again, going to be tough for the Scarlet Knights.

@PDiddyDD

 Haven't looked that closely into that game yet. 

I understand, starting looking myself and Harper was out with an illness vs Indiana so thinking he might be back tonight.

@EastsideBangers

Backing my alma mater. They really struggle to close out games, so I can’t get there at this number. BOL EB! 

@KC_4_LIFE

 I completely understand. Laying big wood is not for the faint of heart with some teams like this.

I consider myself as more of a situational capper than a based on past results kind of guy and i'm more interested in spots & numbers.

If everything was black and white everyone would win more often.

All the best moving forward my man 

@PDiddyDD

 Harper is back tonight 

@EastsideBangers

Thank you guys 

Will add Wichita State -4 1/2 First Half as i believe South Florida will feel the effects of a long layoff.

@EastsideBangers

 Coming strong again.

I took Villanova Sat after looking at your reasoning and the spot, as I think it's mostly spots and situations with wagering.

Lets go Shockers and with Harper back, give me Rutgers.

@umgmu

 Was looking at the Rutgers/Wisconsin game but haven't decided on if i'll pull the trigger or not. 

I'm kind of leaning Wisconsin

Good luck with your action tonight

@EastsideBangers

I always love lining up with you on a play. Let’s get another nova type snooze fest. Appreciate your insights and dedication to sharing plays. Gl on both halves. 

If only they were all that easy. One can certainly hope

 Lets root 'em in
