The read
BYU is riding high after beating Iowa State, but this 11:00 PM ET tip-off in a classic "sandwich spot" sets up perfectly for a scrappy UCF team to hang around.
UCF's 33.3% offensive rebounding rate is the equalizer. They can generate second chances against a BYU team that isn't elite on the defensive glass. BYU's defense (AdjDE #70) keeps backdoors open. L4 home games have a 0.0 margin. They aren't blowing conference teams out. Saunders (18 PPG) is out. Dybantsa was great, but consistency is hard for freshmen. UCF acclimated to altitude.
Taking the points with the dog that can muck it up.
