7:00 PM Yuengling Center ESPN+ The Bulls (7-14, 2-7 AAC, NET #233, KenPom #238) are looking to build off their 2nd AAC win of the season that came two nights prior when they beat Temple at home by a 52-49 score. That win broke a 4-game losing streak where their average margin of defeat was just over 22 points. 5th-year coach Brian Gregory has put a fascinating group together for this season in that the Bulls are a horrific offensive team (#349 KenPom AdjO) but a solid defensive team (#63 KenPom AdjD). They rank dead last in Division 1 for 3-point FG% where they shoot the deep ball at a 23.8% clip (for reference, the next worst team, Green Bay, shoots a much "improved" 26.6%). Their 37.6% team FG% barely hovers above the absolute worst in D1 as well. USF is 1-11 this season when they give up at least 60 points, and 6-3 when they keep their opponents under 60. The Bearcats are currently favored by 7. |

So basically USF's offense for the season is as bad as ours was the last three games.
They are terrible from two, three, and the free throw line. Jalyn McCreary is the only decent shooter on the team but he only plays 10 minutes. So the scouting report is simple: don't give up transition opportunities and play a bit off everyone. Go under all screens. Dare them to shoot. |

Good start to the game, USF can't hang on to the ball, they've had 4/5 completely unforced TO's.
DDJ is hot which is always a good sign. Not a lot of offense outside of him though, but that's gotten to be pretty normal. |

Our offense is completely lost when DDJ isn't on the floor. When DDJ is on the floor it's not really any better, but at least he scores fairly regularly in the iso.

We've made a really bad habit of playing down to our competition on the road lately.

Saunders is like 15 for 50 from 3 but keeps shooting his terrible shot
