The UCF Knights continue their impressive basketball season, securing an 88-67 victory over Tulsa. The win advances UCF to an 8-2 record, showcasing their strong form as the season progresses.
Leading the charge for the Knights was Dallan Coleman, who delivered a stellar performance with a game-high 20 points. Coleman was flawless from the free-throw line, sinking all six of his attempts, and played a pivotal role in keeping UCF ahead throughout the game.
Both teams struggled from beyond the arc, combining for a total of 43 three-point attempts but converting only 17. Instead, the game saw a shift in focus to scoring inside the paint, where both teams found greater success.
On the defensive end, Moustapha Thiam made his presence felt with an imposing five blocks, helping the Knights maintain control and keep Tulsa at bay.
Rebounding was the money maker, as UCF had a total of 59 rebounds, showing why they were able to maintain their lead throughout the game.
With another win, the Knights hope to continue their momentum as they look to maintain the winning streak and push toward an even stronger season finish.
