Big12 Conference plays starts for UCF mens on Saturday. First 5 games.

Nice spirited half. Shorthanded. If they can get this win, it’s a big big win.
 
UCF is now a 5.5 favorite on the sports app at the half. I put another dollar when UCF was -10.5 under dogs after Cinci's hot start. It's interesting how the point spread bounces around during the game.

Cincinnati’s big man shuffles his feet every time he gets the ball in the paint
 
How about
UCF has 7 fouls in 2nd half and Cinci has 3….If Johnny doesn’t go crazy soon on the refs I got no respect for him
How about the kicked ball right in front of the ref ? The referee has been horrible tonight.
 
What a complete melt down the final minutes. I lost both my bets. 7.5 and 10.5. wtf. UCF...get your shit together. Hot and cold offense is horrible.

UCF 57 Cinci 68 Final.

Well… that win went to hell after the half. At least if the conference game loss / win pattern continues, a home win against Baylor is in order next week 😅

12,000+ attendance for Cincinatti. Impressive sold out for little ole UCF game.

That final 4 minutes is pretty unexplainable. Dawkins post game with Marc Daniels didn't offer any answers.

In my opinion, just need better players that can handle the ball in pressure situations. Too many turnovers.

We really missed Allen, especially down the stretch. I thought that the backups played really well in the first half but when Cincy turned up the D (like Houston did the entire game), we were outclassed. I am really concerned with the steps backwards and lack of maturity from Johnson. He really hasn't shown that he can be the glue and win basketball games. When the season started, I thought he was the closest thing to stability that we have on this team. But if that's the case, and he continues to play like this, I'm afraid we'll have more 18-point half's.

Agreed on above. Johnson as a point guard is a little shakey. He pushes the ball to the rim with no results. Big12 refs seem as a conference whole does not call fouls when a guard is looking to get called. They let them play. However, last night Big12 refs really killed UCF's momentum by taking our starting center out quickly with ticky tacky fouls, missing calls on our end, and just seemed to lean on the bearcats side in the 2nd half. I could be wrong though. Just seemed like it. All conference season the refs have let them bump and bruise near the basket, but not last night. Whatever, the big loss was the final 4 minutes and the lack of composure and quick turn overs.

I really thought it was a conspiracy, whey Cinci went up by 7 taking my +6.5 point bet from me, then the final minute Cinci went up to win by 11, and inturn taking away my +10.5 point bet. The house always wins.
 
yeah you can see why we've been so much better with allen as the primary ball handler and playmaker. johnson isn't it. for such a powerful player he should be finishing strong at the basket.
 
Two more losses coming up....I'm betting on the visiting teams next.

The Knights return to Orlando for a two-game homestand, hosting No. 15/14 Baylor on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. tip and No. 11/13 Oklahoma on Saturday for a 4 p.m. start. Both contests will be broadcast on Big 12 Now on ESPN+. As of now, the Black and Gold’s next two opponents will be the fifth and sixth ranked foes that they will have faced this season.

The Seminole game app is Baylor at -2.5. I bet dollar UCF wins no points. I was expecting Baylor to be favored by more. Thus taking a chance. Go Knights.
