With an average of 76.7 points per game and shooting percentages of 45.6% from the floor, 33.6% from deep, and 72.8% from the free throw line, USF's offense is performing well.

South Florida Bulls are ranked 285 in power rankings, with a #147 ranking for offense and #240 for defense. They are 12-11 overall.

USF Expected to Dominate Wichita State in AAC Showdown

USF has demonstrated their strong performance with three consecutive wins on their home court leading up to this upcoming game. Their previous match against the Shockers, who have a 2-7 record in AAC play, resulted in a significant victory for the Bulls. Given their recent successes and the Shockers' struggle in conference play, it is unlikely that Wichita State will be able to reverse the outcome in this away game.

USF showcased their offensive prowess in their previous match against the Shockers in January, scoring 91 points through exceptional shooting and effective ball handling. Despite not heavily relying on offensive rebounds in that game, Wichita State's defense has shown vulnerability to allowing second chances. USF also displayed strong defensive capabilities, forcing turnovers and limiting the Shockers' three-point shooting.

Based on these factors, it is expected that USF will emerge victorious once again in this matchup.
