UCF basketball is off to one of its best starts in program history, but the competition level is about to ramp up as the team kicks off Big 12 play on Saturday.
The Knights (11-1, 0-0 Big 12) are set to host No. 17 Kansas (9-3, 0-0 Big 12) at Addition Financial Arena (2 p.m., Peacock).
UCF celebrated its first Big 12 home victory against the Jayhawks, clinching a 65-60 win on January 10, 2024. However, since then, the Knights have lost three consecutive games to Kansas.
Still, with 13 newcomers on the roster, this team is totally different from past teams.
