The SMU Mustangs have dropped five of their last six games as each of their last three losses were decided by 5 points or less. They also continue to struggle offensively in shooting just 42% from the floor versus the South Florida Bulls at home most recently, their second home loss in three games.
The Central Florida Knights certainly have their eyes on the third place slot within the AAC, as they are only two games behind the Temple Owls. On the other hand, the surging South Florida Bulls are also hot on the heels of the Knights as Central Florida possesses just a half-game lead.
SMU Mustangs
The Mustangs’ Isiaha Mike (12 ppg, 5 rebs) committed four turnovers in their loss at home to the Bulls of South Florida. On the other hand, Mike led the team with 18 points as he is now averaging 19 points in the last five outings for SMU.

In all, this will be the first of two matchups versus these squads as the Mustangs will visit the Knights on February 24th. However, SMU will be looking to right their ship versus a stingy defensive team in the Knights. Yet, UCF has allowed only 61 points to opponents in their last four road games.
Central Florida Knights
The Knights rely on their defense in which to remain competitive on a nightly basis. Their offense continues to shoot 46% from the floor on the year, however, only averages 67 points per game during a rough three-game stretch.
Their most recent defeat was at the hands of top-seeded Houston Cougars as both teams shot horribly from the field. However, the Knights inability to convert free throws while boxing out their opponent, resulted in yet another loss, which dropped UCF to 4th within the AAC.

Finally, 6’6” guard Aubrey Dawkins (15 ppg) came out of a recent funk versus the Cougars as he posed 13 points while grabbing 5 rebounds in defeat.

Free Central Florida Knights vs SMU Mustangs NCAAB Prediction:
Both these squads have much to lose with a loss in this Sunday afternoon showdown. On one hand, the Knights will look to string together some wins to come even closer to overtaking 3rd place within the conference. On the other hand, SMU will be looking to play much better while attempting to halt a damaging losing streak. In all, the Mustangs have simply not had it on either side of the floor lately. Look for them to struggle in this contest versus a UCF team that allows just 38% shooting to opponents per night. In the end, the Knights will atone for their recent road loss to Memphis in picking up a hard-fought, 65-62 win.
