LOSS
South Florida Bulls vs. Louisville Cardinals
Over 163.5
ANALYSIS
We are tracking $3.5M in sharp action backing the Over, a move supported by both programs ranking in the top 20 for scoring offense and USF's elite status as 3rd in the nation for shot attempts per game. Despite Louisville star Mikel Brown Jr. being officially ruled out today, the Cardinals still average 81.7 points in his absence, while USF’s 11-game winning streak is built on a high-octane 87.7 PPG average. With USF's 12% year-over-year increase in possessions and Pat Kelsey's transition-heavy scheme, this 163.5 line remains undervalued for this high-tempo tournament clash.
Key Data
Combined PPG average of 162.3; USF possessions per game increased 12% YoY.
OUTCOME
South Florida Bulls 79 - Louisville Cardinals 83
