Betting Trends for vs
The Penn Quakers are arguably the best team in the Ivy League, but they have been very inconsistent this season as they have dropped games to Lafayette and Rice. The UCF Knights lost a ton of talent from last year’s NCAA Tournament team, but junior forward Collin Smith has been very good as he is averaging 15.3 PPG and 5.5 RPG. The Penn Quakers have struggled on the defensive side of the court this season as they are allowing an average of 76 PPG, and that could be exactly what the Knights need. Alabama transfer Dazon Ingram hasn’t had the scoring output that the Knights expected thus far but expect him to breakthrough with a big performance. Final Score Prediction, UCF Knights win and cover ATS 74-72.
