On Friday, Oct. 14, the UCF Arena will be hosting the inaugural UKNIGHT Madness at 7:30 p.m.
The free event will celebrate the start of the 2011-2012 basketball season for the UCF Knights. Doors to the UCF arena open at 6:30 PM, and the first 1,000 fans admitted into the arena will receive a free t-shirt. There will also be a season ticket select-a-seat event before the event starts for those who want to purchase season tickets.
This event will give UCF students and fans the opportunity to meet the 2011-2012 men’s and women’s basketball teams.
The women’s team is coming off a great 2010-2011 season, in which they won the Conference-USA Championship, and will be looking to repeat this season.
The men’s team had a very promising start in 2010-2011, winning their first 14 games, but struggled in conference play. The team finished with 21 wins. The Knights will be looking to establish themselves as one of the best basketball programs in Florida during the 2011-2012 season.
UKNIGHT Madness will include a dunk contest from the men’s team, a skills competition from both teams and on-court contests for the fans. Coaches Donnie Jones and Joi Williams will also be there to give team previews
Complimentary parking is available for all in Garages D and F on campus.
Season tickets for UCF men’s and women’s basketball are available now by calling (407) UCF-1000 or by visiting UCFAthletics.com.
