DARIUS PERRY NEWS

Scores 17 off bench Perry totaled 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 73-72 loss to Tulsa.

Impact Perry played right along his season-average with 29 minutes on the court despite not starting for the first time this season on Sunday. The senior guard also scored well above his average for points per game (11.4) by converting on six of ten attempts from the field as the Knights fell by one point to Tulsa on Sunday. Green, Central Florida's team-leader in assists (4.3) and second-leading scorer (11.4), should presumably return to the starting lineup for the team's first postseason game against South Florida on Thursday.

Not starting Sunday Perry isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against Tulsa.

Impact Perry has started every contest this season, so his absence is concerning. However, there hasn't been a report suggesting he's dealing with an injury, so the senior is presumably available off the bench. Darin Green will take Perry's spot in the starting lineup.

Totals season high Thursday Perry finished Thursday's 68-49 victory over South Florida with 20 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes.

Impact Perry was a big part of the offensive charge in Central Florida's victory Thursday. The 6-foot-2 guard's 20 points marked his third consecutive game scoring in double figures while also having five or more assists and rebounds. Perry leads all Knights in assists per game this season, averaging 4.8 in 29.3 minutes as a starter.

Consistent in opener Perry tallied 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 3PT, 0-0 FT), five rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's 69-59 win over Robert Morris.

Impact After transferring to UCF last season, Perry started immediately and averaged 14.7 points on 11.6 shots a game. Only six times in his career has Perry surpassed the 18 point mark, his career high being 27 points. Expect his rebounding and assist numbers to float around 2-5 per game along with an increase in his scoring as the senior guard is playing a larger role in the Knights offense.

New career scoring high Perry had a career-high 27 points (10-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go along with four rebounds and two assists across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 61-60 loss to Wichita State.

Impact Perry produced nearly half of the Knights' total points in this one but unfortunately ended up being the only UCF player in double digits. When Perry is healthy, starting and cleared for a full minutes workload -- as has been the case for the last few games -- he's ultimately the top fantasy option on a struggling UCF squad in 2020-21.
