Florida State @ UCF
Current Records: Florida State 0-1; UCF 0-1
What to Know
The UCF Knights' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Florida State Seminoles at 7 p.m. ET Nov. 11 at Addition Financial Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'
It was close but no cigar for UCF as they fell 98-95 to the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs on Monday.
Meanwhile, FSU came up short against the Stetson Hatters on Monday, falling 83-74. What made the loss an especially bitter pill for the Seminoles to swallow was that they had been favored by 18 points coming into the contest. One thing holding FSU back was the mediocre play of Darin Green Jr., who did not have his best game: he finished with only eight points on 3-for-11 shooting in his 37 minutes on the court.
The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 0-1. A couple last-season defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: UCF is 352nd worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 68.2 on average. FSU is stumbling into the game with the 33rd most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 71.9 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
