Betting for UCF Knights
Only one defeat in the last 5 games. They are a great team and carry a great record, but have a hard time playing against teams in the NCAA Top 25. Against Miami he loses 66-64 and the match is on the wire until the second half.
The team leader is Taylor Hendricks who averages 14.8 points and loses 6.8 boards per game. He’s usually the one who leads the attacks and isn’t afraid to hand over the spotlight to his teammates.
The perfect example is the last game, the victory against Wichita State who won 52-45, the one who contributed the most in points was Darius Johnson with 15 and on the boards was CJ Kelly with 7 rebounds who was recovering. There are many good elements in UCF.
Betting for Houston Cougars
Their only loss came to Alabama in a big game that finished 71-65.. The Crimson Tide is one of the best teams in the United States, but the specialists put the Cougars higher, so this loss was somewhat unexpected.
Since the loss, they’ve already had a 4-game hitting streak, and one of those against Virginia, which is the second seed in the previously named Top 25 in the nation. He defeated them 69-61 with a good game from Jarace Walker who put up 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Houston learned from its mistakes and avoided falling to a top player. It looks better every day and points to March Madness as one of the best announcements.
JefeBet prediction
UCF is very good, but beating Houston is a very complicated task, and if you don’t believe me, ask Virginia who couldn’t against them. That’s why we believe Houston will win as one of the most established teams in the entire NCAA.
