Who's Playing
SE Missouri State @ South Florida
What to Know
The South Florida Bulls and the SE Missouri State Redhawks will face off at 8 p.m. ET November 7th at Yuengling Center to kick off their 2022 seasons. Last year was nothing to brag about for South Florida (8-23), so the team is looking forward to a new start. SE Missouri State struggled last season, too, ending up 14-18.
A couple last-season stats to keep an eye on: The Bulls ranked 356th worst with respect to points per game last year, where the squad accrued only 57.5 on average (bottom 103%). SE Missouri State experienced some struggles of their own as they were 10th worst when it came to points allowed per game last year, with the team giving up 77.3 on average. So maybe these sore spots will just cancel each other out if things haven't changed too much in the offseason.
South Florida has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
