As a UCF fan, it pains me to have to say this about USF, but they are probably one of if not the most dangerous teams in the NCAA Tournament right now. This team is 24-6 and went 16-2 in conference play losing to Tulsa in the regular season finale and UAB early in January.

The Bulls' biggest wins this season were against No. 24 FAU and No. 10 Memphis. The Memphis win is when the Bulls started to gain the attention of the NCAA Selection Committee. In their first game of the American Athletic Conference Tournament, USF blew out East Carolina 81-59 and will now face USB, a team that beat them early on, in the semifinals of the AAC Tournament.

This team can beat you defensively, but just when you can score against them, they come out and just take over offensively. This team shoots 44.1 percent from the floor and 36.4 percent from three.

This is a dangerous team that is easy to overlook and it would not surprise me if teams in the NCAA Tournament do just that. USF can use that to their advantage to jump to an early lead and then suffocate you on defense. This is a team that could easily make it to the Sweet Sixteen, so you may want to have them in your bracket.
