UCF men's basketball looks to reset as defensive woes lingerKnights coach Johnny Dawkins said a reset is necessary after three straight losses but added that his team will learn from this stretch.

Jarace Walker - Efficient night from the fieldWalker totaled 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 82-71 victory over UCF.
ImpactWalker finished in double figures for the third time this month with his 17 point performance on Wednesday. After struggling to find his shooting rhythm in consecutive games, Walker shot 5-7 from inside the arc on Wednesday. Walker finished the game as the Cougars second leading scorer, behind Emanuel Sharp's 18 points.

Reggie Chaney - Returns to practiceChaney (personal) participated in Thursday's practice session, Mark Berman of Fox 26 reports.
ImpactChaney was unavailable for Wednesday's win over Central Florida due to personal reasons, but it was encouraging to see him back at practice a day later. It's possible that he'll return to game action Saturday against Cincinnati.

Marcus Sasser - All good after practice ThursdaySasser practiced on Thursday and said his knee was "OK" ahead of Saturday's game against Cincinnati, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ImpactSasser banged his knee during Wednesday's game against UCF and was limited to just 25 minutes. Sasser should be fine to handle his normal workload by the time we get to Saturday's contest.

Emanuel Sharp - Scores 18 points off benchSharp recorded 18 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 82-71 victory over UCF.
ImpactSharp provided a huge spark off the bench in Wednesday's win. His four three-point field goals helped him finish as the Cougars leading scorer. In the three games leading up to Wednesday, Sharp had combined for just 17 points. Sharp's 18 point performance tied his season high and also marked his fifth game of the season finishing in double-figure points.

C.J. Kelly - Part of starting lineup againKelly had 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 82-71 loss to Houston.
ImpactKelly was demoted to the bench during mid-January. But after averaging 18.7 points across it, he is a part of Central Florida's starting lineup again. Unlike most cases, that could be harmful to his overall value. So far this season, Kelly is averaging 4.5 more points off the bench than as a starter.
JANUARY 26, 2023•ROTOWIRE
Darius Johnson - Scores nine pointsJohnson recorded nine points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 82-71 loss to Houston.
ImpactJohnson would have scored 10 had he not been quite efficient with his shooting Wednesday. Still, that is better than being absent, and he is expected to continue being the occasionally valued scorer that Central Florida has been benefiting from.
