Clash at FedExForum: UCF Knights Prepare for Showdown with Memphis Tigers

As the UCF Knights gear up for their next challenge, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the FedExForum against the Memphis Tigers. The Knights have been on an impressive run, showcasing a robust offense and strategic play that has left opponents scrambling.

In their recent game at Addition Financial Arena, the Knights dominated with a staggering 96 points against Tulsa's Golden Hurricane. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an incredible 55 percent from the field and an outstanding 47 percent from beyond the arc. The team also excelled in ball movement, racking up 28 assists while maintaining a highly efficient assist-to-turnover ratio of 14.

The trend continued in their away game against Wichita State's Shockers where they secured another victory with 72 points. Their defense shone through with 13 steals and they maintained consistency from the free-throw line with an 80 percent success rate.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Knights; they faced a setback in Cincinnati against the Bearcats. Despite scoring a respectable 64 points and shooting well from three-point range (40 percent), turnovers were their Achilles' heel as they gave up possession an alarming 24 times which ultimately contributed to their defeat.

As we look ahead to this upcoming contest, it's clear that if UCF can maintain their sharpshooting and minimize turnovers, they could very well dictate the pace of the game at FedExForum. Ball security and defensive pressure will be key factors in overcoming Memphis Tigers on their home court.

Fans can catch all of this action-packed basketball on February 17th at FedExForum or tune into ESPN+ to witness whether UCF can continue its winning momentum or if Memphis will halt them in their tracks.
