UCF MBB: The Knights cruise past Jacksonville to end non-conference play

[ucf1]

The UCF Knights Men's Basketball team closed out non-conference play with an easy win over the Jacksonville Dolphins, 86-66.

Darius Johnson and Jordan Ivy-Curry provided the scoring punch, but perhaps the biggest story was the return of guard Jaylin Sellers and the debut of guard Mikey Williams.

Coach Johnny Dawkins is pleased with how the non-conference schedule has played out for the Knights, but he knows there will be challenges ahead as Big 12 play begins on December 31st against Texas Tech.

We did well in the non-conference schedule. The conference schedule is, well, scary, LOL, but I think this team has a real shot at improving over last season. I worry a bit about if our front court depth is going to be good enough. I thought Taylor Young made a good point during the radio broadcast about needing to have a complete team at every position to win in the Big XII.

I didn't hear that, agree though. Would feel differently about the non-con slate had UCF beaten LSU. TT

Top 5 Moments of 2024​

We are a few days away from flipping the calendar page to 2025, which always reminds me of how quickly time pushes forward. For UCF, 2024 will probably be remembered as an interesting transition year in the athletics program, with some good moments sprinkled into a lot of inconsistency and frustration. We know what happened with the football program, men’s basketball had some bright spots, women’s hoops struggled all season, volleyball was a flop, softball struggled in Big 12 play, women’s soccer didn’t produce much success, men’s soccer battled injuries, and baseball ushered in the Rich Wallace era with some inspired play. However, I vow to not let this deter me from highlighting the positives of 2024 as only the Sons of UCF can: a Top 5.
