He returned to the bench with a boot after getting injured.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The final player availability report for the game releases at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s game is a matchup between two of the Big 12\u2019s most consistent offenses, both of which rank in the top five in the league in field goal percentage. Individually leading the charge for the Bears in this facet of their game is guard Cameron Carr, who ranks fifth in the league in scoring and sixth in total field goals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, Carr also leads the Bears in another statistic: blocking. He ranks in the top 100 in the nation in both blocks and blocks per game, and ranks 10th in the Big 12 in total blocks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Carr is not the only Bear in the top 10 in the Big 12 in scoring. He is joined there by fellow guard Tounde Yessoufou, who is eighth in the league in scoring, but is actually ahead of Carr in total field goals, ranking fifth in the league.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, Yessoufou is not just one of Baylor\u2019s leading scorers, but also their most prolific stealer. He ranks in the top three in the Big 12 and top 50 in the nation in both steals and steals per game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n –<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.\u00a0If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Catch up on more UCF news below:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Three Reasons Why UCF Basketball Stunned No. 19 BYU<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scott Frost Needs To Hire Another New Defensive Backs Coach<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n UCF EDGE Increases Draft Stock At NFL Scouting Combine<\/a><\/p>\n <\/div>\n1. <\/span>Injury Update<\/span><\/h2>\n
