UCF is off to a hot start at 7-1, and with a balanced scoring attack and a crushing defense, they'll be a really tall order for Brown.
UCF has outscored opponents 69-59. Their defense is smothering, allowing opponents to shoot 39%, averaging over 4.5 blocks per game. They're very athletic and pretty big, outrebounding opponents 36-30.
They can shoot it too, hitting at a 47% clip. They're big, they're fast and they can shoot. One bright spot (for Brown) is that they're very sloppy with the ball, turning it over more than 14 times per game.
This should be a very good test for Brown's offense, as this is probably the best defense they'll have faced this year so far.
Defensively they'll obviously be tested, too, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much after a terrible defensive performance vs. Holy Cross. So far, old Bruno is allowing opponents to shoot 47% from the field, and is getting outrebounded 30-36. Yikes.
Let's hope Brown can recapture some of that post-exam break magic.
