ORLANDO, Fla.-- The University of Central Florida’s dramatic 53-49 victory over 15th-ranked Cincinnati here Sunday ended in wild celebration with undergraduates flooding the court at CFE Arena and guard Matt Williams body surfing through the crowd.
This is all relatively new for the Knights, who had not won a game over a ranked team since 2011 when they stunned eventual national champion UConn in the Battle for Atlantis in the Bahamas.
