Evansville @ UCF
Current Records: Evansville 1-3; UCF 4-1
What to Know
The Evansville Aces' road trip will continue as they head to Addition Financial Arena at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday to face off against the UCF Knights. Neither the Aces nor UCF could muster much offensive firepower in their last games, so look to the defense to decide this one.
Evansville came up short against the SMU Mustangs this past Saturday, falling 55-47. Guard Kenny Strawbridge Jr. had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 26 minutes but putting up just eight points on 3-for-13 shooting.
Meanwhile, UCF was able to grind out a solid victory over the Santa Clara Broncos on Sunday, winning 57-50. The top scorer for UCF was forward Taylor Hendricks (19 points).
Evansville is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 3-0 against the spread when expected to lose.
The Aces are now 1-3 while the Knights sit at 4-1. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Evansville has only been able to knock down 35% percent of their shots, which is the 362nd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. UCF's defense has more to brag about, as they they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 36.20%, which places them 32nd in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
