ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The UCF men's basketball team will host West Virginia Tech in its lone exhibition game Saturday at the UCF Arena. The contest begins at 5 p.m. and admission is free.
Prior to the game, fans can purchase their season tickets during a select-a-seat event. Season tickets start at just $96 and are currently available by calling (407) UCF-1000 or by visiting UCFAthletics.com. The Knights are scheduled to play 17 regular-season games at the UCF Arena this year. On Saturday, representatives from the UCF ticket sales office will be on hand in the arena lobby to help with any season ticket purchases. Doors to the arena will open at 4 p.m. for the select-a-seat event.
The Knights are coming off a memorable 2010-11 campaign. UCF started the year 14-0, posted non-league wins over No. 16 Florida, Miami, USF and Princeton, entered the national rankings for the first time in program history and participated in the College Basketball Invitational.
Head coach Donnie Jones' team returns two of the premier players in Conference USA in juniors Keith Clanton and Marcus Jordan. Clanton was recently named to the Preseason All-C-USA First Team, while Jordan earned second team honors.
UCF's home schedule includes a non-league visit from Old Dominion, which has played in two-straight NCAA Tournaments. In C-USA play, the Knights will host 2011 NCAA Tournament participants Memphis and UAB.
Complimentary parking for the exhibition game is available in Garage D and Garage F on campus.
