Jeremy Foumena - Makes brief appearance Thursday Foumena (ankle) provided no counting stats over four minutes during Thursday's 81-59 loss to Arizona.

Impact Foumena, who entered the contest with a questionable tag due to an ankle injury, played four minutes in the quarterfinal loss to Arizona. He didn't log any stats in his brief appearance, but it's good that his injury didn't prevent him from seeing the court. The Knights will likely be in a postseason tournament -- very possibly the NCAA Tournament -- and Foumena is set to play some minutes off the bench now that he's healthy.

Impact Kugel will carry and injury designation into Thursday's contest for undisclosed reasons. The 6-foot-5 senior has been a star for the Knights since transferring in from Mississippi State in the off-season, averaging 14.7 points per game across 29 contests. If he is unable to give it a go against the Wildcats, Carmelo Pacheco and Chris Johnson are likely candidates to see expanded roles for UCF.

Impact Stillwell was deemed questionable on the Big 12 injury report, but the starting forward is available for the Knights in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament. That's big for UCF, as he's missed just two games this season and averages 11.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists as a staple of the frontcourt.

Jamichael Stillwell - Status murky Wednesday Stillwell (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for UCF's tilt with Cincinnati in the Big 12 Tournament.

Impact Stillwell hasn't missed a game since Valentines' Day, but the senior forward could very well change that against Cincinnati in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament. He averages 11.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists this season -- his loss would be a blow to the Knights' starting frontcourt.

Jordan Burks - Strong close to regular season Burks closed Friday's 77-62 loss to West Virginia with 14 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes.

Impact Burks matched a season high with nine boards for the second-consecutive game while having reached double figures in the scoring column in eight straight. Unfortunately for the Knights, they dropped their third straight to close out the regular season and find themselves squarely on the bubble. Despite the team's recent struggles, Burks enters the postseason playing some of the best basketball of his career, averaging 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals while shooting 39.0-percent from downtown over the past eight games.

Jamichael Stillwell - Game-time decision Friday Stillwell (undisclosed) has been designated as a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with West Virginia.

Impact Stillwell, who was listed as questionable earlier this week, will be a game-time decision for the Knights on Friday night. The 6-foot-8 senior is coming off a game against Oklahoma State in which he logged 12 points and seven rebounds across a whopping 40 minutes of action. Stillwell's status will continue to be monitored ahead of Friday's tipoff.

Jeremy Foumena - Doubtful for Friday Foumena (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game at West Virginia, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Foumena was seen in a walking boot during Tuesday's overtime loss, so the fact that he's unlikely to suit up Friday is no surprise. However, it is a good sign that there's even a chance he will play in the regular season finale, making it a possibility that he can return this season. He's appeared in 24 games this season and is averaging 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.

Jamichael Stillwell - Questionable for Friday Stillwell (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's game at West Virginia, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Stillwell, who was a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest and ended up playing 40 minutes in the overtime loss, is back on the injury report with a questionable tag. It's unclear what injury he's dealing with, but there's a good chance it's related to the one that almost kept him out versus Oklahoma State. The senior is averaging 11.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season, so his status for the regular season finale is very important for the Knights.
