Ok-State beat #9 Iowa State a couple games ago. ESPN Matchup Predictor has UCF winning 74.6 percent of the time. I haven't seen any vegas game odds yet. They beat UCF earlier in the season 104-95. I remember watching that game. No defense by either team.

Darius Johnson had a nice career here. Good job !!!

So glad we had him! He could make things happen when we needed it! Strong player!

It’s been a challenging year I’m sure for him with things not going as planned, but still time to make a lasting impact. I hope there’s a big turnout tonight and he plays well in his final home game. I’m calling a double double for him, 23 points and 11 assists. And UCF wins 86-81.

The UCF Knights men's basketball team welcomes Oklahoma State to Orlando for the final regular season home game.

For the Knights, the game also presents an opportunity to atone for the 104-95 defeat at the hands of the Cowboys from February.

UCF will rely on Senior Knight honoree Darius Johnson to bring the energy and put the team in a position to win.

We’re passive-passive.

Their guards are 5’11 170 and 6’1” 180….and our coach has no game plan to beat them up.

Really solid career for DJ. You rarely EVER see kids stay all four years at a school anymore. I’m sure there were opportunities for him to leave over the last three offseasons.

That’s how I’ll remember him, as a young man that stayed loyal to UCF through tough times. Can’t say more about him than that.
