USF vs. UTSA Prediction
I’m on UTSA here. There are much better betting opportunities on Wednesday’s card, but I’m riding with the Roadrunners because UTSA has had a tendency to play their better basketball at home this season, and if you’re riding with USF, you’re pretty much saying that the Bulls win the game outright and USF is just 1-8 SU on the road this season. The Roadrunners have some defense wins here and there and even in the games they’ve lost, they’ve looked a lot more competitive than USF in a lot of spots. I’ll take my chances with UTSA at home in this one.
