Opening Night Brings Us Our First Major Upset Of College Basketball Season As UCF Takes Out No. 13 Texas A&M

Oh boy...

We’re headed towards another wild season. Coming into the 2024-25 college basketball season, the No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies had high expectations because of their experience, consistency and the wide range of talent they have on their roster.



But the campaign got off to a disastrous start Monday night in a road contest, with the UCF Knights giving us our first major upset of the season at Addition Financial Arena. To make the situation worse for the Aggies , the upset came in an utter collapse as they blew an 11-point lead with only 6:24 left in the game. When things were winding down, A&M got ice cold from the field, ultimately allowing UCF to squeak by for the 64-61 upset victory .

And things ended up with Knights fans storming the court in a scene that I’ve truly missed as a college basketball fan. WATCH: UCF storms the court after stunning No.
