UCF senior Jamichael Stillwell has been named to the Big 12 Starting Five, making him the first player in program history to receive this weekly conference honor.
The Big 12 Men’s Basketball Starting Five recognizes five top performers from across the league each week. This week’s honorees include Arizona’s Jaden Bradley and Koa Peat, Iowa State’s Tamin Lipsey, and Kansas State’s PJ Haggerty alongside Stillwell.
Stillwell earned the recognition following a series of strong performances. In UCF’s win over Pittsburgh, he played 32 minutes and achieved his second double-double of the season with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Earlier, in a victory against Oakland, he recorded his first double-double of the season—and UCF’s first for this year—by scoring 20 points and grabbing 14 rebounds while shooting eight-for-13 from the field.
So far during the 2025–26 season, Stillwell is averaging 10.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. He also has eight steals, three blocks, and eleven assists.
UCF will return home for two games this week at Addition Financial Arena: they will face Quinnipiac on November 25 and VMI on November 29.
