The University of Central Florida basketball team had a dream season going. It has become a nightmare. Ironic because "Knightmare" was the theme the school used on the ads to sell tickets this season. Maybe they wish they would have come up with something different?

The Knights started the season red hot. They were 14-0 and ranked in the top 25 for the first time in school history. With the football team winning the Conference USA Championship and the Liberty Bowl against Georgia and also getting it's first top 25 ranking in school history, it was a great time to be a UCF Knight.

The basketball team didn't exactly fatten up on a weak schedule either. In that 14-0 start they beat South Florida, Florida, Miami, UMass and Princeton. The Knight's football team has never beaten any of the three state schools on that list. They are 0-2 lifetime against the Miami Hurricanes, 0-2 against the Florida Gators and 0-4 against USF. The basketball team beat all three in the same season.
