2. Know Thy Foe

Monday's matchup marks the road opener for a South Alabama team that opened its season with a loss to Ohio but beat Jacksonville State in an 83-80 double-overtime thriller.

Two of its players made the Sun Belt's all-conference preseason teams: first-team forward Penny Law and third-team guard Jalen Langsy.

Law, a former NAIA First-Team All-American at Freed-Hardeman, is back with the Jaguars this season after getting his debut season with the program cut short after just 10 games due to an injury.

Langsy was also an NAIA First-Team All-American, though his honor came while playing for Northwestern College last season. Monday's contest is set to mark his third game at the Division I level. He has scored 25 points in each of his first two games.

3. Dior Johnson

UCF guard Dior Johnson has gotten his second stint in Orlando off with a bang, scoring 69 points in his first two games back. These performances, which average out to 34.5 points per game, helped him earn the Lute Olson National Player of the Week award from College Insider and a spot in the Big 12's Starting Five.

4. Program History On the Line

South Alabama occupies a unique place in UCF's men's basketball history. The Jaguars are the program that the Knights have played the most times, six, without a win.

The last time the two programs squared off was back when they were both members of the Sun Belt Conference for the 1991-92 season. They played each other twice, first in Orlando on Jan. 28, which South Alabama won, 107-88, and then in Mobile on Feb. 24, in which the Jaguars won, 93-78.

For perspective on how long ago that was, on the same day that the Knights and Jaguars squared off in Mobile, Feb. 24, 1992, current UCF coach Johnny Dawkins scored 11 points for the Philadelphia 76ers in a win over the Sacramento Kings, 108-96, according to Sports Reference.
