LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Tyler Hendricks, Darius Johnson and Nils Machowski each scored 15 points, and UCF took down Oregon State 76-75 on Tuesday night in the College Basketball Crown postseason tournament.

Moustapha Thiam made the last field goal of the game with 2 minutes, 1 second remaining to get UCF within 74-73. Oregon State missed its final four shots of the game.

UCF plays Big 12 foe Cincinnati, an 83-61 winner against DePaul, in the quarterfinals on Thursday. The Knights lost to the Bearcats 93-83 at home in the regular season.

Hendricks also contributed 10 rebounds for the Knights (18-16). Johnson was 4 of 16 from the floor, including 2 for 8 from 3-point range, and 5 for 6 from the line. Machowski went 5 of 9 from the field (3 for 5 from 3-point range).

Machowski scored 13 points in the first half for UCF, which led 45-36 at the break. Johnson scored 10 points in the second half.

The Knights are playing without some of their key players from the regular season. The Big 12 and Knights' top scorer, Keyshawn Hall, declared for the NBA Draft last week and later entered the transfer portal. Machowski and Hendricks, the brother of former UCF star Taylor Hendricks, also entered the portal but were allowed to play for the Knights. 

UCF guard Jaylin Sellers, who played in just three games in the regular season because of an undisclosed injury, Cameron Simpson, Mikey Williams, Rokas Jocius and JJ Taylor also entered the transfer portal.
