ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The Knights will be receiving some great exposure the next two weeks as the squad's three upcoming games will all be televised. The stretch starts this Wednesday at Memphis.
UCF's contest against the Tigers, which will begin at 7 p.m. Eastern at the FedEx Forum, will air in the southeast on CSS. In the Orlando area, Bright House Sports Network will simulcast the Conference USA game.
On Saturday, head coach Kirk Speraw's team will host Tulane at 4 p.m. and CBS College Sports will televise the game to a national audience. CSS and Bright House Sports Network will also air UCF's home tilt on Feb. 16 against Houston at 7 p.m. Speraw is excited that UCF fans will have the chance to see all three games on television.
"Anytime you can be on TV is a positive," Speraw said. "The exposure is key for our program. It gives our fans the chance to see us play, especially on the road."
So far this year, nine UCF contests have been televised. In total, the Knights will appear on television 12 times during the regular season.
