From upsetting a nationally ranked team, to emerging victorious in a Floridian feud, the UCF Knights are now 4-0 (5-0 if you include the FGCU win). The Knights’ men’s basketball team have shown great performances on both sides of the court. Below is a brief recap of how they’ve done so far, and what their schedule is moving forward.

The Knights kicked off the season with a strong showing in exhibition play, followed by a series of wins against tough opponents:

  • Exhibition Game: FGCU 78, UCF 92
  • Texas A&M (#13 nationally ranked) 61, UCF 64
  • Fort Wayne 68, UCF 75
  • FAU 94, UCF 100
  • Tennessee Tech 69, UCF 80

In their most recent game against Tennessee Tech, UCF dominated the first half, leading by 15 points. The Golden Eagles fought back in the second half and even outscored the Knights, but it wasn’t enough to take their lead. UCF secured the 80-69 win and remains perfect in their season.
