UCF and Colorado Seek Redemption in Big 12 Basketball Clash

Both teams aim to recover from recent defeats as they face off for the first time in conference play.

UCF (10-3, 1-1 Big 12) hosts Colorado (9-4, 0-3 Big 12) in Orlando, marking their first-ever Big 12 conference matchup.
The Knights are looking to bounce back from a historic 51-point loss to Kansas, one of the most lopsided defeats in program history.
Colorado is still searching for its first Big 12 win after double-digit losses to Iowa State and Arizona State in their initial conference games.
Key players include UCF’s Keyshawn Hall, averaging 15.5 points per game, and Colorado’s Trevor Baskin, who recently scored 23 points against Arizona State.
Coaches Johnny Dawkins (UCF) and Tad Boyle (Colorado) emphasize the need for adjustments, including improved defense and physicality, to compete in the challenging Big 12 landscape.
