What channel is UCF basketball vs Tarleton State on today? Time, TV schedule to watch game

For the second time in program history, the UCF men’s basketball team will play Tarleton State Sunday.

The 1 p.m. meeting inside Orlando’s Addition Financial Arena comes almost two years to the day after the first. On Dec. 11, 2022, the Knights blasted the Texans 75-49.

Darius Johnson is the only current Knight who started that game. The senior guard leads UCF with 16.1 points per game, just ahead of fifth-year guard Jordan Ivy-Curry’s 16 and junior guard/forward Keyshawn Hall’s 15.5.

The Knights (6-2) have won two in a row, over Milwaukee and Cal Baptist, since suffering their first two losses of the season two weeks ago. After their matchup against Tarleton State, they will have only two games until Big 12 Conference play.

The Texans of the Western Athletic Conference enter with a 3-7 record. They won their last time out over Dallas Christian and have already competed against the likes of SMU, Florida State, Baylor and Michigan.

Sophomore guard Bubu Benjamin is Tarleton State’s leading scorer at 17.6 points per contest.
