UCF Knights mens basketball had a record-breaking 2025-26 season, securing 21 wins and 12 losses, their first NCAA Tournament appearance in seven years. They achieved 9 Big 12 victories, the highest since joining the league, and marked coach Johnny Dawkins second consecutive 20-win year. Despite an early exit, the team made history with Themus Fulks 222 assists, the new single-season high, and hitting 19 threes in a single game. They also set new records for points per game (80.7) and an 11-game win streak, their longest under Dawkins. Dawkins won the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year award, and Fulks earned All-Big 12 third team honors. The team cracked the AP top 25 and NET rankings, with Fulks contributing over a third of their scoring. Remarkably, they achieved this with no returning scorers, setting the stage for future success.
