Nebraska (20-14) and UCF (20-16) will face off in the championship game of the College Basketball Crown Tournament in Las Vegas. The game will be held at the T-Mobile Arena and will be broadcast on FOX at 4:30 p.m. CT. Nebraska secured their spot in the championship by defeating Arizona State, Georgetown, and Boise State. UCF, on the other hand, overcame Oregon State, Cincinnati, and Villanova to reach the final matchup.
UCF’s top player, guard Darius Johnson, is a scoring threat averaging 17.1 points per game. They will be missing Keyshawn Hall, their leading scorer and rebounder, who transferred to Auburn. Nebraska will look to limit Johnson’s impact on the game. Additionally, UCF boasts a standout freshman center in Moustapha Thiam, who is averaging 10.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game.
With UCF’s high-scoring offense and Nebraska’s strong perimeter shooting, the championship game is expected to be a competitive and exciting matchup between two talented teams.
