UCF might have to plan a trip to Universal Orlando Resort after the season's over.
There are plenty of positives to a life if one were to attend UCF. One of the most specific upsides is UCFâs proximity to Universal Orlando Resort; just a half-hour car ride southwest of campus, UCF students can make a day trip almost any time.Â
Luckily for UCFâs menâs and womenâs basketball teams, the Knightsâ new floor at CFE Arena is bringing roller coasters â and palm trees â much closer to the hardwood. In fact, itâs putting them *on* the hardwood.UCF introduced the latest edition of its court Wednesday. Out is the old two-toned look from last season, with a gray wood center court and tan wood inside the arcs.

The new court adds its own twist on Floridaâs attractions, while giving the baselines a sharp spruce-up with white âKnightsâ lettering on black paint.

Itâs certainly an Orlando-themed court, more than just a UCF-themed court, and the design really drives home the community effort with the tag line âOrlandoâs Hometown Teamâ in white amidst the ferris wheel and foliage.
From the school: "The new court represents the Knights as Orlando's Hometown Team, featuring elements that highlight Orlando and Central Florida, including the climate, the attractions and the city."

Overall, itâs a pretty bold statement from a team looking to kick off the season with a bang. The Knightsâ first home game of the season Nov. 10 vs. Mercer.
