ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Jordan Ivy-Curry hit four 3-pointers and scored 16 points and UCF won its seventh straight home game, topping Tarleton State 66-51 on Sunday.

Ivy-Curry was 4 of 10 from distance with six rebounds, two assists and three steals. Moustapha Thaim had 10 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots and Darius Johnson added 10 points and seven assists. UCF was just 19 of 53 from the field (35.8%), including 9 of 31 from behind the arc, but was 19 of 22 from the line. Defensively the Knights forced 23 turnovers, including 12 steals.
