In contrast, the game against Florida Atlantic University Owls was tighter with UCF scoring less than their opponents (58 points versus FAU's 59) but still demonstrating tenacity. Despite losing by one point on December 18th, they showed resilience in defense with more steals (13) than FAU (5). Their rebounding was superior too; collecting a total of 43 rebounds compared to FAU’s 33.
Against New Orleans Privateers earlier that month on December 11th, UCF scored an impressive victory with a scoreline reading at full time: UCF -72 vs UNO -45.
