#0 Jordan Ivy-Curry

Guard from La Marque, Texas. Senior

Jordan Ivy-Curry is another solid scorer for the UCF team and has been a consistent performer this season. Known for his quickness, he excels as a shooter and finisher, making him a constant threat on offense. Additionally, Ivy-Curry is a reliable playmaker, facilitating ball movement and keeping the offense flowing at a high level. TCU must be aware of his impact, as well as the rest of the UCF guards, because if they find their rhythm, they can create serious problems.

#3 Darius Johnson

Guard from Boyds, Maryland. Senior

Darius Johnson serves as the true floor manager for the Knights, excelling at setting up the offense and keeping the ball moving efficiently. As the team leader in both steals and assists, Johnson's impact extends to both ends of the court, making him a huge asset. For TCU to increase their chances of defeating the Knights, they must focus on disrupting Johnson's rhythm early and preventing him from controlling the tempo of the game.
