ORLANDO, Fla. (www.ucfathletics.com) - The Holler-Classic Automotive Group will serve as the presenting sponsor of the UCF's men's basketball game with Ole Miss on Saturday at the new UCF Arena. Tip-off for the contest is slated for 7 p.m.
The first 2,500 fans who enter the arena will receive a UCF pennant courtesy of Holler-Classic. The Knights and Ole Miss will be meeting for the first time on the hardwood.
The sponsorship marks the second time this year that Holler-Classic has joined the UCF Athletics Association to promote men's basketball. Prior to the start of the year, the UCFAA and Holler-Classic partnered to create a unique promotion.
UCF fans that purchased two season tickets for the inaugural campaign at the new UCF Arena were automatically entered into a drawing to win a special UCF edition Mazda CX-9. The winner of the vehicle was announced at halftime of the UCF-UTEP football game on Nov. 24.
The Knights are 3-0 at the new arena this year. Ole Miss enters Saturday's contest with a 6-0 mark. UCF will be hosting a Southeastern Conference squad for the first time since 1997.
Single-game tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and at the UCF ticket office at Bright House Networks Stadium.
Season tickets are still available by calling 407-UCF-1000.
Notes: The Knights will practice for two hours on Wednesday afternoon at the new UCF Arena... Ole Miss is garnering four votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll... UCF-Ole Miss will be televised regionally on CSS.
