EL PASO, Texas (UCFAthletics.com) - Fans are encouraged to greet the 2011 Conference USA Champion UCF women's basketball team when it returns to campus on Sunday afternoon. The Knights will be coming back with its second league title in three season after defeating defending conference champion Tulane Sunday at the Don Haskins Center on the campus of UTEP.
The Knights will fly back from El Paso in the morning and are expected to arrive at UCF between 3:30 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. The team will arrive on the east side of The Venue at UCF Arena near Garage F.
The Knights won their second C-USA Championship in three seasons Saturday night before a national television audience on CBS College with an 85-73 win over Tulane. The Knights knocked off Southern Miss in overtime of the 2009 C-USA title game for their first league championship.
UCF will learn its NCAA Tournament fate on Selection Monday, March 14 and then play a first round game on either March 19 or 20 at one of 16 predetermined sites around the nation. The Knights will be making their fourth appearance in the national showcase, previously qualifying in 1996, 1999 and 2009.
