ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Followers of the Knights can tune into UCF SportsKnight at a new time for the remainder of the year every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. on SunSports. This week's episode features a visit from UCF Hall of Famer Daryl Davis and a preview of the women's golf season.

Viewers are taken inside the past week in UCF Athletics by UCF alum Jeff Sharon during each 30-minute installment of the program. Replays of the show can also can be seen throughout the week on Bright House Sports Network, UCF-TV and Fox College Sports Atlantic.

The show features highlights of the men's basketball team's game Saturday, when the Knights hosted conference foe Memphis in front a capacity crowd of 9,825 Knight fans. UCF took a one point lead into the locker room and fed off the crowd to start the second half by extending the lead to seven before Memphis clamped down defensively and pulled out a tight win.

The fifth all-time leading scorer in Knights' basketball history, Daryl Davis will be on the set talking about his tremendous career for this week's SportsKnight Spotlight. Davis is about to be passed on the UCF scoring list by his cousin, Jermaine Taylor, who currently is averaging 23.7 points per game.

Women's golf head coach Emilee Klein joins Sharon to discuss her team's goals for the spring. The spring schedule is highlighted by The UCF Challenge in early March hosted by the Knights at Red Tail Golf Club in Sorrento, Fla.
