College Hoops Picks ATS, March 10: South Florida Bulls at Seton Hall Pirates
South Florida Bulls (4-14, 9-21) at Seton Hall Pirates (7-11, 16-14)
Big East Conference Tournament
Tuesday, Mar. 10—9:20 PM EST
Preview
The fourth and final game of the first day of the 2009 Big East Tournament features No. 14 South Florida at No. 11 Seton Hall.
The South Florida Bulls are looking for their tenth overall win of the season. They entered conference play as the only team with a losing overall record and have since had a couple of teams join them (namely the two teams beneath them in the standings).
Despite their record, the Bulls have three talented players—sophomore guard Dominique Jones and senior guard Jesus Verdejo in the backcourt, and freshman center Augustus Gilchrist in the frontcourt.
The Pirates three key players match up very well against the Bulls'—sophomore guard Jeremy Hazell and junior guard Eugene Harvey in the backcourt, and sophomore forward Robert Mitchell in the frontcourt.
Seton Hall has been more successful with this formula this season, though, as they have taken down more opponents, such as Georgetown and Cincinnati.
These two teams faced off once this season, and the Pirates took down the Bulls by 15.
Can the Bulls redeem themselves and get their tenth win of the season, or will Seton Hall move into the second round and be ready to face a tougher opponent?
