UCF ended their season with a disappointing 75-71 loss to UCLA in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Knights were trailing by double-digits throughout much of the game, but managed to pull within three points with six seconds left. Despite Jordan Burks breaking from a shooting slump to lead UCF with 22 points, Riley Kugel had 13 and Jamichael Stillwell had 10. UCLA's top scorer, Tyler Bilodeau, was absent due to a knee injury, but Eric Dailey Jr. led the Bruins with 20 points. This loss leaves UCF 1-6 all-time in NCAA Tournament appearances.
