Struggles in blowout loss Mahan had five points (1-10 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 85-68 loss to Auburn.
Impact Though he plays a small role in the Knights offense, Mahan's offensive struggles this season continued. The senior guard is averaging 5.8 three-point field goal attempts per game this season, making just 20 percent of his shots. Wednesday marked the third straight game that Mahan shot worse than 30 percent from behind the arc. Expect Mahan to continue firing from the field, but to score more efficiently as the year progresses.

21 points in return Mahan had 21 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and one assist across 32 minutes in Sunday's 69-68 loss to Cincinnati.
Impact After missing last Friday's game with an ankle issue, Mahan was back to his regular workload both in terms of shot volume and minutes played. While his game-high scoring effort wasn't enough to hold off a narrow defeat, the outlook for the Knights improves tremendously with their leading rebounder (5.3 rpg) and second-leading scorer (14.1 ppg) in the lineup. UCF next hosts South Florida on Wednesday.

Starting Sunday Mahan is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
Impact Mahan missed Friday's win over Tulane with a minor ankle injury but will return to the lineup after just a one-game absence. The 6-5 senior had his best game of the season when he put up 25 points and 10 rebounds against the Bearcats on Dec. 22 and will look to replicate that performance in Sunday's rematch.

Cleared for Sunday's game UCF head coach Johnny Dawkins said Mahan (ankle) would be available for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact The senior guard will be back in action after missing only one game on account of the ankle injury. Due to the brevity of his absence, Mahan is unlikely to face any restrictions in his return to the lineup. Through his 15 appearances this season, Mahan is averaging 13.7 points, 5.2 boards, 2.1 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 33.9 minutes per contest.

Won't play Friday Mahan will miss Friday's game against Tulane due to a minor ankle issue, Brian Murphy of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Considering the issue has been deemed minor, it would sem Mahan would have at least a decent chance to retake the floor for Sunday's contest against Cincinnati. Without Mahan available, Dre Fuller seems the most likely candidate to enter the starting five. Isaiah Adams, Sean Mobley, Jamille Reynolds and Avery Diggs are all candidates to see additional minutes as well.
