Preview: Memphis Tigers at South Florida Bulls TAMPA, Fla. (Interstat) — A surging South Florida squad will look to solidify its standing when it hosts a struggling Memphis team in an American Athletic Conference men’s basketball matchup Thursday at the Sun Dome. The Bulls (18-8, 8-5 AAC) enter on a hot streak, having won five of their last six games, including a gritty 83-81 overtime victory at Florida Atlantic last Sunday. Guard Wes Enis has been instrumental, averaging 20.4 points over that six-game stretch and logging a season-high 43 minutes in the overtime win. Conversely, the Memphis Tigers (12-13, 6-7) are seeking to halt a two-game skid after a 99-75 road loss at Utah State on Saturday. The Tigers have lost four of their last six, highlighting a season of inconsistency. The game features a compelling backcourt duel. South Florida’s Enis, coming off a 27-point performance, provides steady scoring and playmaking. Memphis will counter with high-volume scorer Sincere Parker, who is capable of explosive nights, as evidenced by his 40-point outburst in a win at UAB on Feb. 5. Parker is averaging 20.1 points over his last seven games played. Team trajectories paint a clear picture. South Florida, with a strong home record, is battling for a favorable seed in the conference tournament. Memphis, below .500 overall, is in need of a signature road win to rebuild momentum for a late-season push. The Bulls won the first meeting this season, 93-78, in Tampa on Jan. 10. These teams will conclude their regular-season series in Memphis on March 5. Thursday’s tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST. The Bulls are currently favored by 7.5 points, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
