The Pack squares off against South Florida tonight in a contest between two fairly evenly matched programs.
As you can see above, both teams score the ball at nearly the same efficiency, turn the ball over at nearly the same rate and attack the offensive glass with nearly the same effectiveness. The Bulls have a bit better rate of getting to the foul line.
Per Steven's conversation with the folks at Voodoo5, Dominique Jones is the focal point of their team. The 6-4 guard plays over 90% of his available minutes, ranking 13th nationally, and nearly 31% of his teams's possessions go through him, as well, also one of the nation's leaders. Clamping down on Jones tonight will be key.
