What an Offensive Game for UCF

It was quite an offensive game on Tuesday for UCF. UCF faced off against the Utah Utes in the first round of the Big 12 tournament, and they secured an 87-72 victory. At halftime against Utah, they were down, but they scored 48 points in the second half on the way to the win. Keyshawn Hall was the top player for the Knights, putting up 23 points, five assists, and two rebounds. Four different players ended up putting up at least 10 points. UCF shot 54.7 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from behind the three-point line. 

UCF sits with a 17-15 record overall and they want to push the pace. UCF is averaging 78.88 points, while their defense is giving up 79.6 points per game. In this game, if they want any chance, the defense will need to be a lot better. Keyshawn Hall has been the top player, averaging 18.5 points, shooting 42.4 percent from the field and 34.8 percent from behind the three-point line.  

Can Kansas Build on the Last Game?

It has been a very disappointing season for the Kansas Jayhawks, but they hope they can build on their senior day game against the Arizona Wildcats. The Jayhawks’ offense scored 83 points, but they shot 49.3 percent from the field, and they only hit 9 of their 14 free throws. As much crap as people want to give Hunter Dickinson, he’s having a huge season, and against Arizona, he put up 33 points, 10 rebounds, and one assist. Zeke Mayo has also been the perfect addition to the team, and he has put up 20 points, six assists, and four rebounds. 

Kansas has a 20-11 record and is a veteran-led team that believes it can make a run. It is averaging 75.75 points, while its defense is giving up 67.9 points per game. Dickinson has been the top player, averaging 17.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. In this game, KJ Adams and Daujan Harris Jr. will need to have a big game. 

UCF vs Kansas

UCF and Kansas are going to be involved in a higher-scoring game. UCF is an elite offensive team as they showed on Tuesday, but are we trusting the defense? Yeah, I for sure am not about to do that. UCF’s defense is going to have no answer for Hunter Dickinson and he’s going to pace the offense again for Kansas. Kansas is averaging over 75 points, and they will crush that number again here. This game is going to feature plenty of makes, few misses, and over-cashing.
