The junior was one of five conference players to earn a spot on the squad.<\/p>\n<p>Sykes, who helped UCF record its third-straight 20-win campaign, has developed into one of the top perimeter defenders in the country. He averaged 2.3 steals per game in both league play and overall games to pace C-USA and rank 19th in the nation in the category.<\/p>\n<p>A Detroit native, Sykes registered 72 steals, good for seventh on the UCF single-season list. The guard helped the Knights limit opponents to only 30.5 percent shooting from deep in conference play, the lowest mark in C-USA.<\/p>\n<p>Sykes is the third UCF player to garner C-USA All-Defensive Team honors, joining Keith Clanton (2011-12) and Dave Noel (2007-08).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2012-13 CONFERENCE USA ALL-DEFENSIVE TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<li>Jonathan Mills, Southern Miss, F, 6-5, 240, Sr., Chicago, Ill.<\/li>\n<li>D.J.
