2007-08 UCF Men's Basketball Summer Preview Knights looking ...

ORLANDO, Fla. (www.ucfathletics.com) - The UCF men's basketball team posted one of the best seasons in school history this past year, going 22-9 overall and finishing second in the 12-team Conference USA. In 2007-08, the Knights will be seeking another impressive finish in C-USA as the team moves into its new home, the 10,000-seat Convocation Center on campus.

Head coach Kirk Speraw, the conference coach of the year last season, welcomes back three starters and nine letterwinners from last year. The 2006-07 campaign was the Knights' second in C-USA.

Construction on the Convocation Center is expected to be completed in July or early-August. The Convocation Center will have double the seating capacity of the UCF Arena, where the Knights played from 1991-2007. The new building is located directly in front of the current arena.
