Darius Johnson hits milestone as UCF tops Tennessee Tech

Darius Johnson reached 1,000 career points at the UCF, Keyshawn Hall scored a game-high 20 points and the Knights stayed unbeaten with an 80-69 win over Tennessee Tech on Tuesday in Orlando. UCF went undefeated during its season-opening homestand, winning four games by a combined 27 points. The 4-0 mark ties the Knights' best start under Johnny Dawkins, now in his ninth season as head coach. The Tuesday game not only represented a scheduling tie-in associated with the Greenbrier Tip-Off, but it also marked the first meeting between the two schools since 2006. Johnson became the 21st player to score 1,000 points at UCF when the senior guard made a 3-pointer with 12:14 remaining in the game.
