The BYU Cougars are ranked 23rd in the country as they host Central Florida. Central Florida is a very good team at 19-7 on the season. I'm surprised to see this line in double-digits. Central Florida owns some big wins, knocking off Texas Tech, Kansas, and losing by just seven to Arizona. This is a team that seems to rise to the occasion. BYU went through a difficult time, losing five of six games. They have bounced back, going 3-1, with the only loss coming by just seven points to Arizona. I think this is a lot closer than it looks. Make the play on Central Florida.

BYU at Central Florida

February 1, 2025

4:00 PM Eastern

The BYU Cougars are 14-6 on the season and 6-4 in Big-12 Conference play. Central Florida is 13-7 on the season and 4-6 in conference play. The Knights have been a handful at home this season, as they are 10-2 on home hardwood. What is more concerning for the Cougars is their low level of play on the road, which has left them at 1-4 on the season. BYU has been out-scored on the road this season by opponents. The Knights have limited opponents to 42.5% shooting in their building. The BYU road defense is further troubling as they allow 46% shooting on the road. Make the play on Central Florida.
