UCF: 1 More Knight

Softball loses first game of tournament while Baseball battles to stay at the top of the conference (E79)

Happy Mother's Day!  It has been a few weeks since the last show and I share what a crazy two weeks it has been.  Then we catch up with Spring Football, Softball, and Baseball for UCF.  Other spring sports are finishing up as well as we are closing in on the summer.  I talk about some other top stories around the country, city, and the BIG 12.  Last, I talk about some more additions to the Knights' basketball teams.  Looking forward to wrapping up school so I can do more shows.

We have another 1st round draft pick in the NFL and how are the Knights doing around the nation (E78)

Short one today, but we will touch on another UCF Knight selected in round 1 of the NFL draft.  Who else should be keep an eye on this weekend?  Also, we touch on the last-minute basketball portal moves for both the Men's and Women's team.  In baseball, the Knights lost the 2 weekend games and could not pull off more Sunday magic and lost the series to Cincy.  They would pull out the victory against Bethune Cookman on Tuesday.  Can they stop the free fall this week in Utah?  Softball took 2 of 3 from Kansas with the bats going cold on Sunday.  They also won their weekday game on Wednesday versus North Florida.  Next for them is a Home and Home series with #5 UF.  I plan on attending tomorrow night's game at the Plex and hope they can at least steal one of them.  Last, it's my birthday and I tell you how my day went and super excited for my girls as they finished the season as the 2nd seed, 4-1 and will start their tournament run tomorrow.  Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and Go Knights, Charge On!

The Basketball Portal Window is coming to a close, how are the Knights looking? (E77)

Not very many have entered the portal from Men's Basketball and Coach Lazo for the Lady Knights is busy trying to build his team.  Only a few more days remaining before we find out the rosters for next year's basketball teams.  Baseball drops a series to Kansas, who now is in 1st place in the conference.  Our boys are tied for 2nd with a home series against Cincy this weekend.  Softball wins 2 of 3 and takes the weekday game heading into the last home series versus a ranked KU team.  Can the ladies keep the momentum building here at the end of the season and get back in the hunt for a higher tournament seed.  Coach Frost gave an update on Spring Football and still no sign of Barnett running the offense, but a battle for QB2 is underway with the two transfers.  I also touch on The Masters tournament from last week and give an update on my girls' basketball team as we are coming to the end of the season.  We have 6 UCF Spring Sports represented in the Top 25 and just a lot to be excited about around Knight Nation.

Around the diamond, the Knights' baseball and softball teams are showing success (E76)

Baseball is in 1st place in the conference after taking 2 out of 3 on the road in Morgantown.  Now they head to Kansas to take on the Jayhawks.  Can they keep the momentum that basketball lost during their season of play.  Softball had another great series at home versus Utah.  With 2 wins and a tie, they are in 5th place in the conference and turning it around from the slow conference start.  They are on the road at Arizona State.  Can they continue the hot streak with the bats and shut down pitching they have seen over the last few weeks.  Also, I give you basketball tournament final thoughts and the portal is now open.  I give you a list of Knights that have entered along with some other notable names from the BIG 12.  I let you know who I have seen enter from UCF and what I think about Johnny's extension.  New Coach, Gabe Lazo had an introductory press conference and we will see who he can assemble with most of the team opting out for next year.  I cover some other sports topics in the news from this week and give you how my girl's team did against our cross town rivals.  Remember that it is Master's weekend and look forward to other great sports as well.

Knights have 7 spring teams ranked in the Top 25, so why are the fans concerned (E75)

While many of the Knights' spring sports are getting National recognition, it is the team not competing right now that is dominating the news.  Much excitement for the opening of Spring Football practice was diminished by the absence of Alonza Barnett from participating.  Concern is growing along with a 3-9 prediction from an article has fans already up in arms.  Many of our teams are counted out, so let's just relax a bit and see what happens.  I go around and talk about the great things happening around UCF, Tournament predictions for the final weekend of basketball, and even some BIG 12 stories that are sure to ruffle some feathers.  Also, a big week for Coach, as I face off against a cross-town rival on Wednesday.  Have a great sports weekend Knight Nation, and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!
