The computers will predict a blowout victory @ South Florida this weekend. That's also been a tough venue for UC in past years so I expect a rock fight and I'll take a one point victory. Just keep winning.

It appears the school across town is on Mission Improbable tonight. No shame in losing to #1 on the road but I won't be surprised if Villanova runs them out of the gym either.

Damn I had momentarily forgotten our history with USF. Those games have been absolutely brutal to watch.

Playing Devil's Advocate, we always seem to play sluggishly down in Florida. As an example, we housed them at home, beating them by 40 but on the road we struggled to score (which is a recurring theme anytime UC travels in conference plays over the Cronin years btw).
I don't know if the guys hit Mars Venus or what the night before the game, but this team has played its best this year when it picks up the pace. Hopefully they go full throttle.

Pretty accurate I'd say. Sample size is too small but UC averaged 79 points in the two conference wins at home; scored 55 on the road at Temple. So I'll look for an average in Florida closer to the lower score.
