South Florida Dominates Tulane 97-83 Behind Wes Enis' 25 Points

South Florida's high-powered offense was on full display as they took down Tulane 97-83 at Devlin Fieldhouse. The Bulls' 97 points were more than enough to overcome the Green Wave's best efforts, led by Tyler Ringgold's 14 points. Wes Enis stole the show, however, with a game-high 25 points to propel South Florida to a convincing 14-point victory.

The first half was all South Florida, as they built a commanding 52-39 lead behind Enis' 15 points. The Bulls' offense was nearly unstoppable, with multiple players contributing to their impressive scoring total. Tulane, on the other hand, struggled to keep pace, despite Ringgold and Asher Woods also scoring 14 points each. Rowan Brumbaugh added 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Green Wave, but it wasn't enough to stem the tide.

In the second half, Tulane made a push to get back into the game, outscoring South Florida 44-45. However, the deficit proved too great to overcome, and the Bulls cruised to a 97-83 win. Joseph Pinion and Izaiyah Nelson provided strong support for Enis, with 17 points and 6 rebounds, and 11 points and 12 rebounds, respectively.

CHD Scout's pre-game prediction had South Florida winning by 5.1 points, but the Bulls exceeded those expectations with their dominant performance. The predicted score of 76-81 was also blown out of the water, as South Florida's offense was too much for Tulane to handle.

The win is a significant one for South Florida's resume, as it marks a Quadrant 3 victory. While it may not be the most impressive win, it's a valuable addition to their tournament portfolio. For Tulane, the loss is a Quadrant 2 defeat, which won't hurt their chances too badly, but it's certainly not the outcome they were hoping for. With a current net ranking of 204, the Green Wave still have work to do to boost their tournament chances.

As it stands, South Florida's net ranking of 63 looks more secure, and this win will only help to solidify their position. The Bulls' impressive performance, led by Enis' 25 points, is a reflection of their strength and depth. With this win, South Florida takes another step forward in their pursuit of a tournament berth, and they'll look to build on this momentum in their upcoming games.
