Florida Atlantic Has Dominated

Florida Atlantic has dominated heading into this game and they have won each of the first two games. In the first game of the season against Indiana State, they ended up winning 97-64, and in the last game against Coastal Georgia, they were able to secure a 99-49 victory. At halftime, they were up 51-20 and they never looked back on the way to the victory. Ken Evans Jr had a strong game, putting up 18 points, six rebounds, and two assists. Kaleb Glenn also had a huge game putting up 18 points and three assists. In this game, FAU is going to need the offense to run up the score here. 

Why FAU Will Beat UCF

  • Florida Atlantic has won each of its last six night games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • UCF has lost three of its last four games against the American Athletic Conference at Addition Financial Arena.
  • UCF has lost the first half in eight of its last nine night games against the American Athletic Conference.

What a Start for UCF

It has been quite the start for UCF and they have confidence heading into this game. Against a ranked Texas A&M in the first game, they were able to secure the 64-61 victory. In the last game against Fort Wayne, UCF scored 75 points and they ended up winning by seven points. Jordan Ivy-Curry had a strong game putting up 18 points, three assists, and zero rebounds. There were three different players that put up at least 13 points. In this game, UCF is going to need the offense to get out to a fast start but the defense is also going to step up. UCF will meet Tennessee Tech, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Cal Baptist, and Tarleton State after this one.

Florida Atlantic vs UCF Prediction

UCF is going to probably come away with a victory here, but I don’t think they are going to win this game in blowout fashion, and it wouldn’t shock me if Florida Atlantic ended up pulling the upset. Florida Atlantic’s offense has been good the first couple of games and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Florida Atlantic is going to get the job done here. Back Florida Atlantic against the spread. 

Shane Mickle's Pick: FAU +5.5
