The game, scheduled for 9:00 PM EST at the Marriott Center in Provo, promises to be a thrilling encounter broadcasted on ESPN+.

The UCF Knights have been showcasing a robust defense and an aggressive offense that has served them well in recent games. On December 22nd, they secured a victory over the Florida A&M Rattlers with a score of 69-56. Their defensive prowess was evident as they racked up five blocks and twelve steals while also maintaining discipline by committing only thirteen personal fouls. Offensively, they were efficient from the charity stripe with a free throw percentage of 70 percent and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 24 points off them.

Against the Maine Black Bears on December 19th, UCF demonstrated their ability to control both ends of the court once again. They dominated with eight blocks and fast break points tallying up to sixteen. Their field goal percentage stood at an impressive 46 percent which helped them secure a comfortable win with a final score of 74-51.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for UCF; they faced stiff competition from Ole Miss Rebels on December 10th. Despite putting up an admirable fight that included six blocks and thirteen steals leading to fourteen points off turnovers, it wasn't enough as they narrowly lost with a scoreline reading 68-70.

Looking ahead to their matchup against BYU Cougars, it is crucial for UCF Knights to maintain their defensive solidity while improving their three-point shooting accuracy which was just at eighteen percent against Ole Miss Rebels. The Cougars' home advantage at Marriott Center could play into BYU's favor but considering UCF's recent form away from home; this might not be as significant as one would expect.

The upcoming game will test whether UCF can sustain its defensive intensity while finding more consistency in its offensive execution under pressure situations away from home soil. Fans should look forward to seeing how well-prepared the Knights are in taking down another formidable opponent.
