ORLANDO, Fla. -- — Darius Johnson scored 19 points, Jaylin Sellers added 16, and UCF rode a 16-point halftime lead to a 72-57 victory over Lipscomb on Saturday.

A pair of free throws from Sellers put UCF up by 18 near the 4-minute mark and his driving layup near the 2 1/2-minute mark restored the 18-point lead.
