ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The 2011-12 UCF men's basketball regular season starts in less than two weeks, and starting Wednesday morning, fans can buy single-game tickets to watch the Knights in action at the UCF Arena. Single-game tickets are available at UCFAthletics.com and all Ticketmaster outlets.
After a memorable campaign a year ago under head coach Donnie Jones, the Knights return two of the premier players in the country in juniors Keith Clanton and Marcus Jordan. Both players have garnered Preseason All-Conference USA Team honors. Clanton and Jordan helped the Knights win 21 games in 2010-11 as the squad opened the year with 14-straight victories and entered the national rankings for the first time in school history.
UCF will open the regular season on Nov. 12 and will play 17 games at the UCF Arena. The Knights will host three 2011 NCAA Tournament participants during the year: Old Dominion (Dec. 17), Memphis (Jan. 18) and UAB (March 3). Season tickets, which start at just $96, are still available by calling (407) UCF-1000. UCF has already surpassed last year's season ticket sales numbers, and a limited number of seats located on the sidelines of the UCF Arena lower bowl remain.
UCF will play its lone exhibition game Saturday at 5 p.m. against West Virginia Tech. Admission to the game at the UCF Arena is free.
