Just in case you don't already know, this game is being played in Memphis for the conference tourney and is not at Houston. Considering Houston shoots just 39% away from home and hits just over 60% of their FTs while being outrebounded by about 4 per game I'd be heistant of laying points on a neutral court. I think this one will be close.

I love Houston too Zona .....but Xerri "just on case you don't already know"... you are correct BUT.......
... you failed to mention that South Florida is 2-9 OTR.....in fact they've been getting DEMOLISHED on the road. Houston just taught these losers a big lesson about 3 weeks ago clubbing them by 18.

Only road SoFla wins---
Grand Canyon by 11.....r u kidding me?
East Carolina by 1......wow
Powerful So Miss by 11......im stunned

I'm still trying to figure out which one of those wins were most impressive.

I looked at the entire card and this one may be my fav play of the day. Love Houston -4.

Remember Penders in the old days when Texas was not much of a program, used to always make noise in the SWC tournament. Look for them to win easily today, probably get alot of points vs. Bearcats next round will likely cover.
Watch them in the NIT if they get picked.....

Don't get me wrong Manson, I know USF is bad on the road but he asked for some thoughts and I was just giving him another perspective. It seemed by his title he thought this game was at Houston. USF lost by just 2 at S. Carolina and 1 at Marquette while losing by 8 at Louisville and 7 at Depaul so it's not like they've been blown out in every road game. I won't be betting on USF but I was just giving reasons I wouldn't unload on Houston either. Houston didn't exactly have any impressive road wins either beating S. Miss, E. Carolina, USF, Lamar and S. Houston. Not always easy to beat a team 3 times in 1 season and this line looks kind of low considering Houston won by 12 and 18. GL either way.

Good points on both sides. FWIW, I am on Houston, but just an average bet. I've seen too many strange things happen in these conference tournament games to risk any serious money on them. Good luck .

Spread South Florida vs Houston U (-5.5) for Game -103 515.00 500.00 (pinnacle)

kind of a high line, but low juice, the points won't matter, houston should win by at least 8 or 9.....

this line looks way to damn easy...Houston is a solid club, maybe not on the road, but they obviously have shown they can ball..USF is horrid, I would take USF if I had to just because its so anti public...gl, hope it hits for you

Also beat an LSU team earlier in the year by 9. Not that LSU was hot at that team but they beat them as well nonetheless.
