The Black Knights advanced to the quarterfinals after securing an 83-78 victory over Elon. In that game, senior guard Jalen Rucker led the team with 17.8 points per game, showcasing his scoring prowess. Forward AJ Allenspach has been a force on the boards, averaging 7.1 rebounds per game.

Army vs. Florida Gulf Coast CBB Prediction:
The Black Knights will rely on the leadership and scoring ability of Jalen Rucker, while the Eagles aim to capitalize on their balanced offensive and defensive strategies. Army, however, is just 1-4 over its last five games entering play today. The Black Knights covered just once over that span. While Florida Gulf Coast is coming off a loss in its last game, that also snapped a four-game winning streak for the Eagles. I like them to bounce back today, which is why I’m laying the 9.5 points at Bovada.lv.
