Wright State vs South Florida Prediction
I’m leaning towards USF here. I just think that the Bulls are the deeper team here that’s shown more to this point. Wright State to me feels like they’re still missing some of the key pieces from the last few seasons like Tanner Holden and Trey Calvin. I think USF has more going for them here and I’ll back the Bulls in this one.
