The non-conference schedule includes games against Miami and Wake Forest from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Ole Miss from the SEC. In conference play the Knights will welcome two teams that competed in the NCAA Tournament last season in SMU and UTEP.
Williams' squad features eight returning sophomores, including three double-digit scorers in Emma Cannon (11.7), Marshay White (11.6) and D'Nay Daniels (10.2).
In their first season at the new UCF Arena, the Knights played 17 home games and hosted the C- USA Championship. On Feb. 2, 2008, UCF established a new single-game attendance record when 1,457 fans watched the Knights host East Carolina.
The Knights' home opener will take place on Friday, Nov. 21, when Florida A&M visits for a 7 p.m. contest. The following day, Florida Atlantic visits for a 5 p.m. tip-off.
On homecoming weekend, fans will get their first chance to see the Knights on Saturday, Nov. 8 when UCF hosts DT3 for an exhibition game at 11 a.m.
