What to Know

The UCF Knights and the Memphis Tigers are set to clash at 9 p.m. ET March 11 at Dickies Arena in the second round of the American Athletic Conference Tournament.

UCF earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Thursday. They skirted past the South Florida Bulls 60-58. The Knights got double-digit scores from four players: guard Darius Perry (13), guard Darin Green Jr. (11), guard Darius Johnson (10), and guard Tyem Freeman (10).

Meanwhile, Memphis didn't have too much trouble with the Houston Cougars at home on Sunday as they won 75-61. Guard Tyler Harris (15 points) was the top scorer for the Tigers.

UCF is expected to lose this next one by 9.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 2-6 ATS when expected to lose.

UCF found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 88-60 punch to the gut against Memphis when the two teams last met earlier in the regular season. Can the Knights avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
