What to Know

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane haven't won a game against the UCF Knights since Feb. 29 of 2020, but they'll be looking to end the drought Sunday. The Golden Hurricane and UCF will face off in an American Athletic battle at 2 p.m. ET at Donald Reynolds Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

Tulsa came up short against the Wichita State Shockers this past Wednesday, falling 72-62. Guard Sam Griffin had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 35 minutes but putting up just three points on 1-for-11 shooting.

Meanwhile, the Knights lost to the Tulane Green Wave on the road by a decisive 82-67 margin. UCF's defeat came about despite a quality game from forward C.J. Walker, who posted a double-double on 16 boards and 13 points.

The Golden Hurricane are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Air Force Falcons Nov. 13 easily too and instead slipped up with a 59-58. In other words, don't count UCF out just yet.
