Short and sweet. Been a long day of work and classes.

The Orange invade South Florida tonight. Tough to think if they drop this one they're out of an NCAA bid. But it's only tough to think about because it would probably be true. Outside of winning out, the blemish of a loss to a 1-conference-win-team (1-10) would most likely be too much to overcome. That's what's riding on this game. The costs for losing outweigh the rewards of winning by far.

The Orange totally outman the Bulls. They have far better players (even with depth issues), better coaching, a better record, and they're playing their best overall-basketball of the season (last two losses are by 2 points each to arguably the two best teams in the Big East).

It's a simple formula for success tonight.

(-)TO + (+)R = W.

Less turnovers than the bulls combined with more rebounds as a team equals a win.

No prediction this time... I haven't been right yet, and I don't wanna jinx what I think should be a good night for the Orange.
