Productive in reserve roleAdams-Woods had 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds across 30 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 69-68 victory over UCF.

ImpactAdams-Woods has now came off the bench in four consecutive contests, though his minutes total hasn't necessarily suffered, as he's averaging 27.0 mpg over that span. He's been replaced in the starting five by freshman Mike Saunders, but Saunders has recorded just 11 total minutes in his last two games, while Adams-Woods has been on the floor for a combined 62 minutes.

Posts first double-doubleWalker had 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Sunday's 69-68 loss to Cincinnati.

ImpactEven with Brandon Mahan (ankle) back in the lineup), Walker managed to set a career-high rebounding total en route to his most productive fantasy day of the season. The center position has been tough to fill for UCF since it was announced Collin Smith would be sitting out the season for personal reasons, but Walker has been an adequate fill-in, averaging 6.2 points and 4.7 rebounds on the season.

21 points in returnMahan 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.

ImpactAfter 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.

ImpactAdams started Friday in place of the injured Brandon Mahan but will head back to the bench with Mahan returning to the lineup.

Starting SundayMahan is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

ImpactMahan 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 gameUCF head coach Johnny Dawkins said Mahan (ankle) would be available for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

ImpactThe 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.
