Central Florida at Temple

Central Florida's defense has taken a step back since the season-ending loss of 7-6 center Tacko Fall. They allowed 77 points to Cincinnati, 81 to Wichita State, and 70 the last game in a loss at Tulsa. Tulsa shot 53.5% from the field and 36.4% from three-point land. Central Florida is on a 7-2 run OVER the total. They face a Temple squad here with good balance on offense behind three top scorers; Quinton Rose, Obi Enechionyia, and Shizz Alston, Jr. Plus, J.P. Moorman II has provided a lift off the bench of late, averaging eight points the last four games. Temple's defense is a concern, though, on a two-game skid allowing 93 and 80 points. They've also surrendered 76+ points in four of the last six games, and the OVER is 7-3 when these rivals clash. Play the OVER in this one.
