Strong start has UCF basketball on right path as Big 12 play nears

UCF men’s basketball is off to its best start in years with an impressive 8-1 record, something the Knights haven’t achieved since they went 14-0 during the 2010-11 season. While coach Johnny Dawkins is pleased with the team’s early success, he still believes there is room for growth.

“I’m never satisfied,” Dawkins said on Thursday. “For me, the best start would be to go undefeated.

“I’m proud of our guys for the effort that they’ve put out and our staff for the preparation that we’ve had, but I want my guys always to understand that you’re always striving to be better.
