The Bulls steamrolled the SMU Mustangs, winning 60-46 at the USF Sun Dome Friday night as Jesus Verdejo scored 18 points and Dominique Jones added 13. Using an active defense, South Florida limited SMU to an ice-cold 27.7 percent shooting mark from the field to cover the spread for college basketball sports betting enthusiasts as a 10.5-point home favorite.
The Cavaliers held off a game VMI team, winning 107-97 over a high-scoring Keydets team that was coming off a thrilling win over Kentucky on Monday.
Freshman guard Sylven Landesberg led Virginia with 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting and sophomore forward Mike Scott added 26 on 11-for-13 shooting as the Cavaliers shot a blistering 54.4 percent in the win.

NCAAB Odds
South Florida +7 -110
Virginia -7 -110
Analysis: I was very impressed with Virginia’s win over a quality VMI team and think they should be able to cover the spread at home against a South Florida Bulls team that could struggle against teams with solid frontcourts this season. Virginia may have a star on its hands in 6-6 freshman shooting guard Sylven Landesberg. Take the cavaliers to cover and don’t look back BetUS NCAA college basketball sports betting fanatics.
