Coming off of a tough inaugural road loss at Kansas State, the UCF Knights Men's Basketball team welcomes 3rd ranked Kansas to Orlando for the home Big XII contest.

Coach Dawkins and his players know that they will have to be much more composed if they want to have a chance to stay competitive in this game.

State Senators are trying protect cuts to Visit Orlando's money from tourist tax after County Commissioners expressed a willingness to reduce the amount they receive every year...

Jaylen will be among some other top recruits playing in the game.

I have a couple 2 star hoops players going and they’ve never been to campus. Burger U is gonna be slammed imho.*

Tonight's game will probably come close or even beat the HUGE Michigan turnout that came down a few years ago when Michigab was playing innthe CFP Orange Bowl a few days later.

Being how this will be KU's first ever Big 12 Conf game in FL...a ton of KU fans from all over thr state are expected to come to the game tonight.

Every picture tells a story, don't it? If only he committed 100% to UCF football,,,,,although, I must say, based on his actual commitment this is pretty accurate, isn't it?

Episode 248 of the Sons of UCF podcast features an interview with former UCF Knights LB Walter Yates III (2022-23).

Walt shares some insight on his journey from small school football to the D1 stage at UCF.

From adjusting to a new scheme, meeting new teammates, and working with new coaches, Walt molded himself into a productive player for the Knights.

Walt also shares insights on some of the biggest games and moments from his time at UCF, and talks about the close bond he has with his teammates.

I have two tickets for sale for Kansas in section 107 Row P on the aisle. $200 to my fellow dungeonites; which is currently cheaper than TM.

Congrats to coach Kam Martin on his recent engagement

My daughter is interested.

Here's some advanced metrics I have and thought I'd share with ya'll. I did some filtering out to pull UCF's defensive rankings for each team compared to every team that played FBS since 2012. The following criteria pulls the data: Points Per Drive, Results from the
-40, Explosive Plays, Play Efficiency, Negative Drives, SOS, Rush Ranking, Pass Ranking. This does not include vs FCS teams. There's a total of 1,540 teams.

#219 2019 UCF
#235 2016 UCF
#376 2014 UCF
#389 2017 UCF
#544 2013 UCF
#555 2012 UCF
#569 2021 UCF
#592 2023 UCF
#782 2018 UCF
#802 2022 UCF
#1,022 2020 UCF
#1,490 2015 UCF

I want to take my 6 year old as an early bday present to the game tonight. If anyone is looking to unload any let me know!

On Ticketmaster, cheapest get in price for the KU Game is 2nd level 201 behind the hoop for $150. (UPDATE: Now its only $130).

Now, UCF might be keeping many unsold season tickets off the market and might end up with a 3 or 4 game package for the KU game (would be smart to tie it to a non-conf game or two to help bring out fans to those lesser games).

Cheapest Club Seat is $500.

All other 1st level seats start at $238 (behind the hoop) and up.

Obviously, if UCF still has some season tickets to sell...that is a much cheaper way to see this game and others.

#2 Houston getting the new to the B12 treatment. Were down 14-0 to Iowa State before draining a 3 more than 6 minutes in…

B12 was great this year, but changes dramatically again next year. I would go as far as saying a whole new conference. Especially as it almost feels like we are in the PAC12 next year with games against ASU, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. Throw in BYU and we have a crazy left coast leaning schedule. Even ending the season with UC and WVU does not seem to make it more familiar. Maybe we can call it the B12+?

gads... could you imagine if we were stuck in the American? No matter how much we in fight things are looking up

Seeing KU -6.5 spread, -275 MoneyLine favorite on the Hard Rock app currently for tomorrow night’s game. Figured Kansas would be at least -13 points and maybe -1800 on the ML.
