ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The UCF men's basketball team has won four of its last five games, and on Monday, head coach Donnie Jones will talk about his squad's impressive play during the Donnie Jones Radio Show at the Smokey Bones in Waterford Lakes. The program begins at 7 p.m., and fans attending the show will have the opportunity to win a pair of tickets to UCF's Wednesday home game against SMU.
The hour-long show airs on the UCF Sports Network from IMG College and its flagship station, 740 The Game in Orlando. Marc Daniels is the host.
Jones' Knights, who are 18-9 overall and have posted seven victories over top-100 squads during the season, host SMU Wednesday in the team's regular-season home finale. Tipoff is 7 p.m. and tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com and UCFAthletics.com.
This past Saturday, UCF picked up a thrilling 65-64 victory over Southern Miss at the UCF Arena when junior guard A.J. Rompza (Chicago, Ill.) hit a 3-pointer with 3.8 seconds remaining. Sophomore guard Marcus Jordan (Chicago, Ill.) scored a team-high 20 points in the win. Earlier in the week, the Knights rolled to 74-68 win at UTEP. Both Southern Miss and UTEP were in first place in Conference USA when the teams faced the Knights.
In addition to hosting SMU, UCF will play at Marshall this week on Saturday. The C-USA Championship begins in El Paso, Texas, on March 9.
