Central Florida at UTEP

The Central Florida Knights got off to a 14-0 start. The snuck into the national rankings and looked like the biggest surprise of the year. That turned sour in a hurry as the Knights went on an eight game losing streak. This team lost confidence and had some nagging injuries, but has won two of their last three, and has not lost by more than 7 in their last six games. What has helped is getting some wins, but also regaining the services of Jeff Jordan. He has played in just six games, but is now a third scoring option at 12.7 points per game and he gives them a three-point shooter that has connected on 48% from deep. UTEP has not lost at home since their opener vs. Pacific 66-61. It is easy to forget that Central Florida was at one time a 14-0 team. It sure looks like the confidence is back and everyone is healthy now. Play Central Florida on the moneyline.
