What to Know

South Florida is preparing for their first American Athletic Conference matchup of the season on Tuesday. They will play host again on Tuesday to welcome the East Carolina Pirates, where tip off is scheduled at 3:00 p.m. ET at Yuengling Center. The Bulls have been getting the ball to fall more lately as they've increased their point totals each of their last three games.

South Florida is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They claimed a resounding 106-49 victory over Webber International. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 54-26.

South Florida was working as a unit and finished the game with 28 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored East Carolina last Saturday, but the final result did not. They took an 84-79 hit to the loss column at the hands of Gardner-Webb.

The losing side was boosted by Jordan Riley, who went 7 for 13 en route to 18 points plus eight rebounds and four steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Cam Hayes, who earned 18 points.

South Florida now has a winning record of 7-6. As for East Carolina, they have not been sharp recently as the team has lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 8-5 record this season.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. South Florida hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 78.8 points per game. However, it's not like East Carolina struggles in that department as they've been averaging 77.2. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Everything went South Florida's way against East Carolina in their previous meeting back in March, as South Florida made off with an 81-59 win. Will South Florida repeat their success, or does East Carolina have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
