The UCF Knights secured an 81-75 victory over the No. 17 Kansas Jayhawks in their Big 12 Conference opener on January 3, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. Kansas freshman Darryn Peterson delivered a strong first half with 23 points but played sparingly in the second due to ongoing injury concerns, contributing to the Jayhawks' late collapse. UCF's Riley Kugel led the way with 19 points, including a crucial three-point play in the final seconds.
The UCF Knights women's track and field team achieved a strong performance in a split competition across two states on Friday. They broke nine personal records and four program records against Ohio State, Texas Tech, and Florida Atlantic. Highlights included standout times in distance events and field competitions.
