The University of Central Florida men’s basketball team will play over a newly renovated court.

Dubbed “Orlando’s Hometown Court,” from this year’s Orlando’s Hometown Team campaign, the court was under construction for the previous week and final product unveiled Wednesday morning.

The most anticipated season of UCF men’s basketball will begin Friday, November 10, at 8 p.m. against Mercer. In the 2016-17 season, the Knights earned their first visit to the NIT Quarterfinals in Madison Square Garden, New York City, after clearing Illinois and Illinois State in front of a sold out CFE Arena.

UCF Women’s basketball earned one of their highest performing seasons in the 2016-17 year under head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, setting up another highly anticipated season.
