I'm always optimistic, but going through SMU makes it hard to be. Larry Brown has put a darn good team together.

 

[Central Floridave]

I don't think we will beat ECU much less SMU.

 

[ucf_71127]

I agree! I am optimistic... I am going to believe in UCF (I guess my heart hasn't been broken enough?).

We have potential to win any game going through the American Tourney. It depends who shows up for US and who shows up for our OPPONENTS.

If we show up like we did with our last game against Tulane, then I think we can win many games! Check out some stats...
53.3% FG
60% 3PT
18:10 Ast/TO

That's a great complete game! Hoping the rest and time off pays off and our team shines Thursday. I hope our 2 freshman play like sophomores. I also hope Kasey plays well going out as a senior (like how Sykes went out giving his all to win last year against #13 Cinci).

Go Knights!!

I think we'll be better prepared for ECU in a rematch. SMU is tough, but I've never felt like they were unbeatable. We'll find out soon enough!

Vegas doesn't like UCF's chances. I heard UCF's odds of winning the AAC Tournament are 300/1

Tulane is a .500 team...alot of teams put complete games together against them.

3:30pm today. set the dvr espnu

 

[Boston.Knight]

This should be a revenge game as well. We cannot let these butt pirates beat up on us three games in a row. #GetPhysical

 

[NicolosiKnight]

Whelp, not a good start.

 

[Central Floridave]

Just finished watching the game on dvr. Casey Wilson effort to tie the game at the end to go into OT, then miss the final shot to win in OT. About sums up this season. I really liked the female announcer in the game. She and the other dude (sorry don't know their names) called a good game. Game was bad until the end with UCF crawling back into it at the end to force Overtime. Frustrating year, but a building one for UCF basketball. Can't wait until next year. I'm thinking of buying season tix for next season to force me to go to more games and/or also hand out to friends that can make the games. They are fun to go to.

Go Knights!
