The UCF Knights (10-2) look for their seventh straight win, and second this year at home against a ranked opponent.

Dickinson, who labored through a knee bruise in last year's trip to UCF, opened the scoring and provided 18 of the Jayhawks' first 29 points. True freshman Flory Bidunga dominated in the second half, providing the night's major highlight with a block of Benny Williams at one end and a fastbreak dunk at the other.

UCF basketball had a chance to make a massive statement. A win over a top-10 program at home in late January would have gone far in helping make the case for the Knights to earn a possible spot in the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 2018-19 season.
