SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS @ DEPAUL

USF brings a multi-option attack to Chicago

In its opener, South Florida had five players reach double figures, with Zayden High leading the way and Sonny Wilson adding a team-high six assists. The Bulls also forced 13 steals while committing just eight turnovers, a useful early test of their ability to create transition chances.

DePaul showed its adjustment capacity after halftime

The Blue Demons trailed West Georgia by two at the break, then outscored the Wolves 46-27 in the second half. Magoon Gwath and Koree Cotton led the scoring, while Ade Popoola supplied a late perimeter burst.

A nonconference meeting with some history

This is the first meeting between the programs since the 2019 College Basketball Invitational finals. DePaul's announcement lists a 16-14 edge in the all-time series and a 9-6 advantage in Chicago.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Wait for posted odds

The odds listings checked had no spread, moneyline, or total available, so there is not yet a reliable number to evaluate. Recheck the market closer to tip rather than wagering on an assumed line.

Price-sensitive DePaul moneyline lean

ESPN's matchup predictor gives DePaul a 68.1% win probability, equivalent to roughly -213 fair moneyline odds. Treat that as a rough model reference—not a guarantee—and consider DePaul only if the posted price is better than that threshold and availability news does not change.
