Themus Fulks scored 21 points, including a jumper with a minute to play to key a late run, as host UCF posted an 88-80 win over No. 11 Texas Tech on Saturday.
The victory marked UCF’s third straight conference win, the first time the Knights have done that since joining the Big 12 three years ago.
The Knights led for all but 1:20 of the game but were clinging to a two-point advantage with 1:30 to play after Fulks turned the ball over. Then Jaylen Petty bobbled an outlet pass after the steal, and UCF (17-4, 6-3 Big 12) recovered to set up Fulks’ jumper to go up by two possessions.
