Pre-Game Thread: at UCF (12/28/22)

[ShockingButTrue]

The strange thing is that IB's first year his team won several close games.

Covid maybe?

It couldn't be anything else, because we basically brought back the same team last year.

[Mr. Pickle]

Part of it is on him for decisions he makes, but the coaching staff generally doesn't put our most dynamic offensive player, Walton, in a position to be successful on offense.

[ShockTalk]

Best players tonight:

Flanagan and Okafor: Neither started, 5-8 FG, 4-6 3pt, 3-3 FT, 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 0 TOs.

Will be interested in their total minutes.

Also, Bob Homer Hull might want to watch and listen to a replay. I thought the UCF announcers were about as balanced as one could ask for.

Better yet Bob, give the reins to someone else.

Too much Johnson for them and not enough overall hustle for us. Our offense still seems stagnant. Thankfully we had Flanagan tonight.

Add no Defense, and we’ve got a WINNER!

Of all our problems... Defense isn't one

Agree 100%. It was so much better hearing the opponents announcers rather than our own.

The team has no fight or know how to win a close game. The strange thing is that IB's first year his team won several close games.

A lot of those were because of Etienne..

We didn't score in the last 5 minutes? Yikes!!!

[SkoShox]

UCF didn't make a FG the last 7 minutes... Yikes

I wish we had some Johnson’s on our team.

But they were winning and didn't have to. Yikes!!

[ShockRef]

Well, I ponied up the cash tonight and got the + to watch this **** show
The walk-on kid can play and tell you all you need to know about this staff and their recruiting.

Yes, the Walton kid can play (why isn't the offense ran through him?) but the rest are as touted back in October.
Mostly end of bench and low level program castoffs.

Pierre is an athlete, but a poor basketball player. But that could be said about most of them.
Bell is an end of bench type and needs to stay there with Rojas. Speaking of JP, he is without a doubt one off the dumbest players I've witnessed in quite a while.

Poor Bear coming back is a nice story, but he should have stayed in Omaha. He isn't even close to an AAC level player.
Valley, yup.
AAC, not a chance.

UCF was terrible or this game was a 25 point blow out. UCF shoots 22% from 3... and wins by 7!

I know Porter wasn't on the floor and may have made a difference. But this was a ship without a rudder... or an engine...or even a set of oars.

I will not watch this team attempt to play with Memphis or Houston. This example was enough to make my teeth hurt to watch it.

That is all.

I don't have a problem with Flanagan, glad he's playing well. however, what does that really say about our recruiting, our walk on family friend is better than any recruit we can get....thoughts....

True, but they did make throws and got steals for the win. We get UCF again in Wichita, hopelly with Porter.
