The Central Florida Knights will head up to Philly to face the Temple Owls in AAC play from the Liacouras Center on ESPNU. Temple leads the head-to-head series, 11-7, after winning five of the last six meetings.
Central Florida moved to 16-12 following a road win over Tulsa. The Knights held the Golden Hurricane to 14 first half points, and left Oklahoma with a 19-point win, 68-49. UCF is scoring 72.1 points per game, while allowing 65.9 ppg, and shooting 42.7% from the field.
Central Florida has faded down the stretch, dropping eight of their last eleven games, and they’ll look to avoid being swept by Temple on Thursday evening. UCF is 7-9 in AAC play, with a 4-5 road record. Freshman forward Taylor Hendricks went for a game-high 25 points in the win over Tulsa, and he leads UCF in scoring (15.3) and rebounding (6.6). Senior guard Ithiel Horton scored 28 points against I-4 rival USF last week, and he’s up to 12.6 ppg.
