As a 13-point underdog, USF stunned Memphis by 24 points last week, before reports on Memphis coach Tubby Smith’s shaky job status surfaced. Since, news of his possible firing has overshadowed the team's preparations. The distraction will not affect him, but could weigh on his players. This line opened at seven, and the shift to nine disrespects USF. The Bulls might be 10-21 straight-up, but they closed with two consecutive wins by double-digit margins.
