Temple Owls
Since starting an impressive 4-0, Temple has yet to gain back any consistency. They are 4-3 in their last seven games, only winning a pair of consecutive games once since the end of November.
They won their last game against Rider after trailing by 8 at the half, they had a masterful 45 point second half, winning the game by 12 points. They hope to beat UCF here and stay in the win column, which in hope would launch the momentum they need for the winter months.

Temple is led by the guard tandem of Quinton Rose and Nate Pierre-Louis. Combined, they lead the team in just about every major stat category.
Rose leads the team in points and assists per game where Pierre-Louis leads all Owls in rebounds, steals, and blocks per game. They will both need impressive performances in order to secure a win.
Temple has been extremely impressive from beyond the arc in their past two games, shooting over 40% in each. In two of their last three games, they were outrebounded on the offensive glass, which leads to second chance points.
They need to limit the possessions and offensive rebounds of UCF if they want to contest.
UCF Knights
Before losing to the 8-3 Oklahoma Sooners by one point, the Knights were on a roll, winners of six in a row. In that stretch, they found consistency scoring, scoring between 70-78 in each of those six wins.
Their last game against Oklahoma they scored a season low 52 and now hope to find the consistency that they once had.
The Knights are led by forward Collin Smith and guard Dazon Ingram. Smith leads the team in points per game with 13.6 and shoots an impressive 51.3% from the field. Ingram leads the team in rebounds and assists per game.
These two, along with the rest of the talented starting lineup, will need to get back on track here.
As a team, the Knights and Owls match up quite nicely, which explains why the line is so close.
They average almost the exact amount of points per game and there is only a slim margin in points allowed per game. UCF does thrive more on defense, as their opposition field goal percentage is 36.2% per game.
They will need to take advantage of missed shots and capitalize on opportunities.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Temple is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games
- UCF is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games
- UNDER is 9-3 in Temple’s last 12 games
- OVER is 9-4 in their last 13 head to head meetings
- O/U is 3-8 in Temple’s games this season
- O/U is 3-7-2 in UCF’s games this season
Free Temple Owls vs. UCF Knights NCAAB Prediction: A close game throughout, but UCF pulls away late and covers.
This line would be inflated if it weren’t for UCF’s latest hiccup and Temple’s latest win. Not an easy win by any means, but I think UCF gets the job done here. 6-1 last week in CBB. Be Advised.
