Tulane defeats UCF in AAC Tournament, ending Knights' season

The noise surrounding the future of UCF basketball coach Donnie Jones' job hit a fever pitch following the team's 65-63 loss to Tulane Thursday night during the first round of the American Athletic Conference Tournament.

It was the second consecutive season the Knights were kicked out of the conference tournament party early.

It was a painful loss to Tulane, a team UCF decisively swept during the regular season, with memorable performances from senior guard Daiquan Walker and rookie center Tacko Fall.

It happened before a home crowd at the Amway Center, with an announce crowd of 8,723 fans.
