South Florida vs. Memphis Key Player to Watch

Izaiyah Nelson, F - South Florida Bulls

Izaiyah Nelson dominated Memphis in the first meeting between these two teams. Not only did he put up 17 points, but he dominated the glass, racking up 14 rebounds and four blocks. If Memphis can't find a way to match up with Nelson down low, we're going to see a similar result tonight.

South Florida vs. Memphis Prediction and Pick

South Florida's front court completely dominated Memphis in the first game between these two teams. Isaiyah Nelson had 14 rebounds and four blocks, which shouldn't be surprising considering the Bulls rank 23rd in opponent two-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting just 46.7% from two-point range. That makes all the difference in the world against a Memphis team that has one of the highest two-point shot rates in the country.

The Tigers' shooting has been terrible lately. Over their last three games, they have an eFG% of 42.9%. Overall, this season, they rank 298th in effective field goal percentage.

We're going to experience deja vu tonight. South Florida will win big.

Pick: South Florida -6.5 (-105)
