Darius Johnson's 8 treys help UCF knock off Milwaukee

Darius Johnson made a career-high eight triples and scored a season-high 28 points to guide UCF past visiting Wisconsin-Milwaukee 84-76 on Wednesday night, ending the Knights' two-game losing streak. UCF, which beat Milwaukee for the first time in school history after losing twice to the Panthers during the 1990-91 season, finished 5-0 at home in November. The Knights (5-2) also bounced back following losses to then-No. 19 Wisconsin and LSU at the Greenbrier Tip-Off in West Virginia. In a matchup of two of the top rebounding teams in Division I, Milwaukee held a 41-31 advantage on the boards that included 14 offensive rebounds and 17 second-chance points.
