The UCF Black Knights fell to 10-5 on the season and 1-2 in the Big 12 following a 63-58 loss to BYU at home on Saturday night. The loss comes just one game after the Black Knights pulled off the biggest upset in school history last Wednesday with a win over #3 Kansas. Ibrahima Diallo had a huge game in the loss to BYU. Diallo finished with 19 rebonds and 11 points to pick up his second double-double of the season.
“Tremendous grit,” head coach Johnny Dawkins said of his team. “Both teams defended their hearts out, they’re one of the top defensive teams in the country and so are we. It played out in today’s game. They made a few more plays than we made and that was the difference.”
