The UCF Knights men's basketball team represents the University of Central Florida in NCAA Division I and competes in Conference USA. UCF plays its home games in the UCF Arena on the main campus in Orlando, Florida. Kirk Speraw has been the head coach of the UCF Knights since 1993.

History

UCF played its first intercollegiate basketball game before the team even had a nickname. In the Division II era, under Torchy Clark, UCF found great success including a DII Final Four appearance.

UCF has been a member of Division I since 1985, and has advanced to the NCAA tournament 4 times (94, 96, 04, 05), all under coach Kirk Speraw. UCF competed in the Atlantic Sun Conference (formerly called the Trans American Athletic Conference) from 1992 until 2005 when all sports joined Conference USA, and plays in the UCF Arena. UCF made its debut in the Conference USA Championship Tournament in the 2006 season, falling to Houston in the second round and closing out the season with the program's first losing record (14-15) since 2000-2001. The Knights made a huge turnaround in the 2006-07 season, finishing 2nd in conference play to Memphis with an overall record of 22-9.

UCF's men's basketball team played its first exhibition game in the new UCF Arena, an 86-78 win over the Saint Leo Lions, on November 3, 2007. The Knights played their first regular-season game in the new arena, a 63-60 win over the Nevada Wolf Pack, on November 11, 2007. They will host the UConn Huskies on December 28. Their first home C-USA game will be against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on January 11, 2008.
