Staff Prediction

South Florida has had trouble scoring all year and ranks #282 this season and NIU plays a slow pace of play and their offense ranks #183. So following the trends I think this sets up for a defensive matchups with low scoring. I like the Under 129 in this matchup of two sub-par offenses.

Score prediction: Bulls 58 to Panthers 63
