Upstart UCF gets another massive test vs. No. 8 Houston

Another huge test awaits UCF when it travels to No. 8 Houston for a Big 12 Conference showdown on Wednesday.

The upstart Knights (17-4, 6-3 Big 12) weren't exactly preseason darlings in the nation's top-ranked conference. Picked to finish a humble 14th in the 16-team league, UCF has overachieved thus far.

The Knights sit 37th in the NCAA NET rankings and have a 4-4 record in Quad 1 games. There are no bad losses on the Knights' NCAA Tournament resume either, as they are a combined 13-0 in Quad 2, 3 and 4 games.
