Cincinnati
Moneyline Pick: Cincinnati (-238) - A-
Cincinnati’s scorching two-game winning streak has caught the attention of fans and bettors alike, especially with UCF trudging through a four-game skid heading into this matchup. Despite the Knights missing their starting C for this contest, the Bearcats look relatively healthier with their top G pushing the tempo. Historically, Cincinnati’s high-scoring forward has feasted on UCF’s interior defense, which boosts confidence as both teams approach the critical postseason threshold after more than 41 games played. With a solid payout and a strong likelihood of success, the Bearcats sit in an enviable position on the moneyline.

Over/Under Pick: Over 152.5, (-110) - B+
Cincinnati’s dynamic forward DeAndre Black hopes to capitalize on his team’s recent back-to-back victories, while UCF enters this matchup desperate to snap their latest two-game slide. With the Knights’ starting point guard Jamal Harris nursing a minor ankle tweak and the Bearcats’ shooting guard Manny Carter returning to full strength, both squads anticipate playing at near-full capacity. Historically, UCF’s leading scorer Jonathan Grey has torched Cincinnati with consistent double-digit outings, and Carter has averaged 20+ points over his last few appearances against the Knights. Despite the injury concerns, these programs are primed for an uptempo battle, so the line should be surpassed. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 03/04/2025 04:43
Spread Pick: UCF, +6 (-104) - B
UCF’s guard rotation, still recovering from a recent injury to a key ball-handler, hopes to snap a two-game skid while facing a Cincinnati squad riding a modest three-win surge. After checking each team’s active roster, the Knights’ frontcourt remains healthy enough to contend with the Bearcats’ historically efficient offense, though Cincinnati has dominated head-to-head matchups in previous conference clashes. Despite their past struggles, UCF looks poised to cover the spread, with a decent potential payout if they prevail against the line. “Knights Rise Amid the Roar.” Odds and availability are subject to change.
