Glad they mixed up the starting line-up to help others get more mins...McSpadden played with more offensive confidence than game 1 (0-5 in first game off the bench, 5-10 from the field, 3-4 from FT in Game 2 as a starter) but he obviously has to work on protecting the ball, making better entry passes (had 7 turnovers), but thats what these August games are for.
Maybe most impressive stat from the first 2 games (even without BJ), UCF is shooting a respectable 74% from the FT (42-59).
Shaheed's been the best to get to the FT line and then did a good job converting by shooting 13-16 (81%).
Hopefully with more inside/attacking game from Shaheed, Blair, McBride, Tacko, AJ and then guards driving (UCF had 28 pts in the lane as McBride was 5-6) , it will lead to more FT attempts, more time in the bonus, which should lead to more pts. (This might be an area where losing Goodwin will help as he shot just 60% from the FT line during his first 2 years, as he shot more FT attempts last season than any other player and that hurt UCF multiple times as he had trouble converting).
