What to Know

The Temple Owls will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Owls and the UCF Knights will face off in an American Athletic battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Liacouras Center. UCF will be strutting in after a win while Temple will be stumbling in from a defeat.

This past Saturday, Temple lost to the Saint Joseph's Hawks on the road by a decisive 68-49 margin.

Meanwhile, UCF strolled past the North Carolina A&T Aggies with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the game 83-68. Guard Darin Green Jr. (18 points) was the top scorer for UCF.

The Owls are expected to lose this next one by 5.5. Those burned by picking them against the spread this past Saturday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Temple was able to grind out a solid victory over the Knights when the two teams previously met in January, winning 62-55. Will Temple repeat their success, or does UCF have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
