LUBBOCK, Texas – The UCF men’s basketball team looks to keep its momentum rolling from it’s 74-63 victory over No. 23/24 Oklahoma, as the Knights visit No. 23/23 Texas Tech on Saturday for a 4 p.m. ET tip. The game is the first of a two-game road trip, as UCF will head to Provo, Utah after to face No. 21/19 BYU.
The Black and Gold never trailed their last time on the floor, leading the Sooners wire-to-wire in UCF’s fourth win in Big 12 Conference play. It was the second such time that the Knights have led throughout the game in league play, beating West Virginia and building a lead as high as 21 points. The Knights constructed a 17-point lead in the win over the ranked Oklahoma squad, continuing a trend UCF has experienced as of late. The Knights have now led at halftime and by double digits at some point in each of the last four games. That has flipped the script from UCF’s first five games in the league in which it trailed at halftime and by double digits during each contest.
