Maine Black Bears vs. UCF Knights Betting Preview
Black Bears Want to Defend
Every game on the NCAAB schedule requires some traveling for this Maine team as they are not close to any other schools. Regardless of where the Black Bears play, they are always looking to play strong on the defensive end of the floor.
Kellen Tynes leads the way with 14.3 points per game for the Maine Black Bears, but this team only averages 70.4 points per game. Maine has been winning low-scoring games of late, but they won’t be afraid to try to put up some point in this game.
UCF Can Be Explosive
The UCF Knights have some terrific college basketball players, and guard Jaylin Sellers might be at the top of that list. Sellers is averaging 19.6 points per game this season for the Knights and he has the ability to take over this game.
UCF is going to have to play great on both ends to compete at the top of the college basketball standings in the Big 12 Conference, but that’s not going to be easy. The Knights are averaging 78 points per game this season, and they are also holding opponents to just 67.7 points on the other end.
The Knights should have an advantage of playing at home in this game, but they are still going to have to play well.
Maine Black Bears vs. UCF Knights Betting Picks
After checking out the Maine vs UCF odds on Monday night, there are a couple of ways to bet on this game. The college basketball injury report for this game looks pretty clean for both teams, and that should lead to a decent game.

These two NCAA basketball teams are going to score plenty of points as well, and that will push the point total to over 134.5. UCF is going to find a way to win on their home floor, but taking the points is the right bet to make per the score and odds.
- Pick 1: Over 134.5
- Pick 2: Black Bears +14.5
