The Wake Forest Demon Deacons, (6-3 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U) may not be in the same class as their ACC counterparts, North Carolina and Duke, but the school may have the two best freshmen in the conference in Jeff Teague, (8.4 ppg, and James Johnson, (12.6 ppg, 9.7 rpg).

The South Florida Bulls, (7-3 SU, 7-2-1 ATS, 5-3-1 O/U) come into tonight’s matchup having won seven straight contests after opening the season with three straight losses.

The Bulls have been off since beating the University of Alabama-Birmingham 68-58 on Dec. 8. South Florida has four players that average in double figures, led by guard Dominique Jones, (16.7 ppg).

The Bulls are averaging 75.4 points per game while allowing 68.5 points to their opponents. Wake Forest is averaging 69.1 points per game while giving up just 60.0 points per game defensively.

Analysis: Wake Forest may have the bigger ‘name’ coming into this contest, but it is South Florida that is the more complete team. The Bulls beat the Demon Deacons 75-67 last season and will likely do so again tonight – even on the road. Take the Bulls to cover the spread if not win outright.
