Wins over Houston and Cincinnati along the way all but guaranteed that UCF will earn an NCAA Tournament bid. But first the Knights will get a chance to claim a conference championship, something they haven’t achieved since 2005. The Knights will begin play in the AAC Tournament on Friday at 2 p.m. As the No. 4 seed, they will face the winner of Thursday’s matchup between No. 5 Memphis and No. 12 Tulane.
