ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - When the UCF men's basketball team hosts UAB for a Conference USA contest Wednesday, Feb. 24, a bit of "magic" will be present at the UCF Arena. The contest will serve as Orlando Magic Knight at UCF as representatives from the NBA franchise will be on hand at the arena.
Tip-off for the game against the Blazers is set for 7 p.m. Tickets start at just $5. Club seat tickets, which offer access to the exclusive Black and Gold Lounge, plus upgraded food and beverage options, are available for the contest as well.
The evening will offer UCF fans a chance to win several Magic prizes, including an autographed team basketball and tickets to Orlando's home game against Washington on April 7.
Former Magic center Bo Outlaw is slated to attend the game and sign autographs in the UCF Arena lobby. Magic ticket representatives will also be at the arena.
Orlando Magic Knight is part of a partnership between UCF and the Magic. UCF will also enjoy a presence at an upcoming Magic contest at Amway Arena.
The Knights, who have won two-consecutive games, are coming off a big 68-65 victory over Houston. Freshman guard Marcus Jordan (Chicago, Ill.), who is the team's leading scorer in league play, totaled 18 points and eight rebounds in the win Tuesday.
UAB is 19-5 on the year, and has spent time in the top-25 nationally.
