UAB at Central Florida

The Golden Knights have only lost at home to Connecticut and Mississippi. They have covered each home game as a favorite, and are 11-1 in conference in their last 12. Their only home loss was to Memphis. Taylor and Noel are both hitting over 40% of their three-point shots, and the Golden Knights defend very well, allowing just 40.3% against them. UAB has been playing well, as they have won five of their last six, but four of the five wins were at home, and the road win was by a single point. They lost Paul Delaney early with a knee injury and have now lost Walter Sharpe. Sharpe was averaging 14.4 points per game, as well as being their leading rebounder at 6.8 per game. The Blazers defend very well, but when they have played good shooting teams on the road they have struggled, as Kentucky shot 57%, and Florida State shot 55.8%. We like Central Florida in this spot who is an under-the-radar team, especially at home.
