Baylor at Central Florida

February 28, 2026
img8:00 PM Eastern

If the season ended right now, there is a pretty good chance that neither of these teams would be getting a bid to the NCAA Tournament, but they are both close enough that if they can win out and have a good conference tournament, the winner of this game may gain a leg up. This game looks suitable for both teams as they each like to run and score. I think UCF has just done it better. The Knights rank #10 in offensive efficiency, and Baylor just #33. UCF has al been better in defensive efficiency. The Knights have wins here vs. Kansas and Texas Tech, and I like them in this one. Make the play on Central Florida.
