The South Florida Bulls and the UCF Knights are set to clash at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Addition Financial Arena in an American Athletic Conference postseason contest. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

South Florida pushed their score all the way to 83 on Saturday, but even that wasn't enough to win. They fell 93-83 to the Blazers. South Florida has struggled against UAB recently, as their match on Saturday was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.
