SMU Mustangs Dominating on Offense and Defense, Outperforming USF Bulls

The SMU Mustangs have been performing exceptionally well in their recent games, winning four out of their last five and two out of their last three road matches. On the other hand, the USF Bulls, although also on a winning streak, are not as competitive as their recent results may suggest, being ranked 98th on Ken Pomeroy's ratings. SMU demonstrates superior offensive performance, with a 5.7 point per 100 possessions advantage over USF. Additionally, the Mustangs excel defensively, allowing only 98.5 points per 100 possessions compared to the Bulls' 101.6 points. With an impressive average of 85.8 points in their last five games, SMU's offensive capabilities are clearly evident.
