SCOUTING UCF
UCF is coming off one of their most-successful seasons in program history. The Knights won the American Athletic Conference Championship and finished with a 26-4 overall record. UCF upset Florida by 17 points in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to No. 5 Connecticut by only five in the second round. Diamond Battles was named AAC Player of the year and was an All-America Honorable Mention. Brittney Smith was tabbed as The American's Sixth Player of the Year. Masseny Kaba and Tay Sanders both garnered third team all-conference laurels.
This year, the Knights were picked to finish eighth in the 11-team league according to the preseason coaches’ poll. New head coach Sytia Messner has a number of new faces, including five transfers and three freshmen. POTY Battles transferred to Georgia, while Smith, Kaba and Sanders all graduated.
UCF enters Sunday’s contest with an impressive 6-1 record. They are coming off their lone loss of the season an 86-46 rout at Auburn on Dec. 3. Among their impressive earlier victories is a double-overtime win against Samford on Nov. 26.
