The UCF men’s basketball team is pushing to build on arguably the biggest win in school history and prove this might be a breakthrough season for the Knights.
UCF (2-1, 0-0) opens American Athletic Conference play against Cincinnati (2-4, 0-1) at Addition Financial Arena Tuesday. Tipoff is at 4 p.m. and the game will be streamed on ESPN+.
An unusual offseason marked more by social distancing than team bonding didn’t stop UCF from scoring an 86-74 win over No. 15 Florida State on Saturday.
Cincinnati, meanwhile, typically is among the strongest AAC teams every year. The Bearcats are coming off an 83-68 loss at Georgia.
