Anyone watching Mercer - UCF?

Yep. Watching online. Coming off the great season last year and with a quality Mercer opponent, too bad we can't get more people out to the game.
Losing Dawkins was tough. Was really excited to see him this season because from what I've heard he's an animal in practice.
Looks like we forgot to practice free throw shooting during the offseason...
I agree, I think this is the most all around talent we have had in a long time
And the track is too small. No way that track could support a roller coaster.
No Tacko Fall, no Aubrey, no BJ Taylor? I know Aubrey isnt around, but all three? Its gonna be a long year.
Long year of 9 point wins? Taylor played and sounds like the Tacko injury isn't serious.
Taylor went out with an undisclosed injury...hopefully not too serious either.
He stayed in to shoot a free throw so I would venture to say not something season ending but we will see.
Beat the spread with a surprise DNP from Tacko against the favorite to win the SoCon. Depth of the team is impressive. So many scorers. Mercer stuck around with an incredible first half offensively. UCF needs to clean up the missed foul shots, but an encouraging performance.
Preliminary info sounds like a possibly serious injury for BJ. But, we played pretty well without him. I think we will still have a really good season.
I feel like this is the first, legit D1 team we've ever fielded. Quality depth....a lot of it untested but you can see it. I hope they take it easy with Tacko if he's injured. We will be decent without him....with him....yeah, that's a different level. Don't play him if he's not healthy, though.I hope BJ is not done for the season. Things did not look good. He couldn't put any weight on his leg. Two coaches had to walk him to the back.
With Dawkins and BJ probably gone for the year, this season is screwed. We'll finish 5th in AAC at best and miss the dance. Again. Hope I'm wrong but it never seems to fail with UCF.

Still way too early for the panic button. Taylor had a foot injury and will undergo evaluation at the doctors tomorrow. There is still a lot of depth on this team and a lot of basketball to be played. With Taylor, Fall, and Dawkins all out we were still able to build a 15 point lead in the 2nd half against a solid Mercer squad, who is the favorite to win the Southern conference.
Very impressed by Douglas. He looks like he is a year or two from being fully physically developed. And he looks to be a solid contributor this year.
I take back all the questions I had about Johnny’s recruiting.
Also loved all the rotation. I was curious on how we handle the depth.
