The sophomore guard averaged 1.6 points and 1.6 rebounds on 8.9 minutes per game this season. He'll have one more chance to make some noise with UCF in the new tournament.

Darius Johnson - Six-straight 20 point efforts Johnson fouled out of Wednesday's 98-94 OT loss to Kansas after recording 22 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 36 minutes.

Impact Johnson posted his sixth-consecutive 20-point output but fouled out late during Wednesday's season-ending defeat. The senior guard added seven assists and two steals but his inability to be on the floor for OT hindered the Knights' chances of pulling off the upset. UCF has an outside shot at continuing their season in one of the secondary tournaments but should the 17-16 Knights be left out, Johnson ends a stellar career by averaging career highs with 16.7 points, 4.2 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Keyshawn Hall - Leads way as UCF falls just short Hall finished Wednesday's 98-94 OT loss to Kansas with 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 44 minutes.

Impact Hall closed out his junior season with a huge performance against the Jayhawks, scoring at least 25 points for the seventh time while recording his fourth double-double of the season. He drained four from beyond the arc and added three steals, though he was only able to muster one point in OT as the Knights ultimately fell. The junior forward finished his first season in the Big 12 averaging 18.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest. UCF will not be one of the 68 teams in the NCAA tournament field but do hold an outside shot to participate in one of the secondary postseason tournaments.
