Premium Pick

East Carolina is winless on the road and riding a five-game skid, with the last three losses by double-digits. The Pirates are 12-30 ATS following a double-digit loss at home. Central Florida is home, where they are 6-2 straight up. Redshirt sophomore A.J. Davis has been a big contributor for the Knights, leading the team in points averaging 13.1 and rebounds at 5.6 per game. He is one of three players in The American ranking top 20 in points, rebounds and assists. Central Florida has a terrific frontcourt anchored by Tacko Fall (2.29 blocks per game) and 6-10 junior Justin McBride, who averaged 15 points and seven rebounds last week, including a 20-point game against league favorite SMU. The Knights' defense has been strong, ranking 42nd nationally with 5.1 blocks per game. UCF is also one of the nation's top free-throw shooting teams, ranking 47th in the NCAA with 73.3 percent. The Knights hold a 15-9 advantage over East Carolina in the all-time series, including a sweep last year. Play Central Florida on the moneyline.
