UCF @ Memphis

Current Records: UCF 13-7; Memphis 11-8

What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the UCF Knights will be on the road. The Knights and the Memphis Tigers will face off in an American Athletic battle at 8 p.m. ET this past Saturday at FedExForum. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

UCF didn't have too much trouble with the South Florida Bulls at home this past Thursday as they won 68-49. Among those leading the charge for UCF was guard Darius Perry, who shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points, five dimes and six rebounds.

Meanwhile, Memphis had enough points to win and then some against the East Carolina Pirates two weeks ago, taking their contest 71-54. The top scorer for Memphis was guard Lester Quinones (17 points).

UCF is expected to lose this next one by 7.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread this past Thursday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

The Knights were able to grind out a solid win over the Tigers in the teams' previous meeting last month, winning 74-64. The rematch might be a little tougher for UCF since the squad won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
