Is UCF basketball really this bad or has the team given up?

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Wow..........The UCF men's basketball team dropped its second straight game, falling on the road at Temple by a score of 75-56 on Sunday afternoon. UCF shot 32.7 percent from the field and 5-of-16 from beyond the arc.

"We have to make sure our mindset is right," Dawkins said. "We get to go home. We have a great opportunity to play a very good Wichita State team at home and then close out with Tulane. They're two good basketball teams, so we're going to need to play well to give ourselves a chance to win."

Coach, it's the end of the season, our mindset should be fixed by now. We suck, and now we have to play Wichita State. Who's running the show here???

maybe it's an intentional tank so they can have a Spring Break, NIT becomes less exciting the 2nd time in a row

I don't think we'll make the NIT. We're definitely losing the next game. Tulane at home is winnable. We just look extremely average without Tacko. BJ hurt himself two games ago before halftime and was trying to work-it-out in the hallway behind the bench. AJ Davis actually walked over and talked to him a but. I think he might have re-tweaked his ankle and who knows how much that is hindering him being able to drive and cut. We're not bad....just average at this point. At least we don't have any "bad" losses. Our losses are against quality teams (at least record-wise).

We haven't had our top 3 players on the court at the same time all year. We haven't had 2 of our best players on the court for a complete game. You are going to have bad games on the road. Especially at a place like Temple. If we can put some wins together in the conference tourney we will be in the NIT.

There is always next year!

We need to bring back the black top!

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Even if we don’t make NIT we go CBI. At the very least you get more practice time. That can’t hurt all of our guys that were new this year.

The rollercoasters are messing up the team

I think Knight Light is on to something here. We should not have gotten rid of the "Black Top"!! Notice how everything changed, injuries etc after the black top went away!

I would definitely be on board with the blacktop coming back. I really liked it and definitely prefer it over the current court.

They look to me like they have shut it down. They probably don't want to get injured in a losing season. Time to play non starters if this is the case.

I love playing basketball and if I could build my own private court, I would do the old black top court, ‘‘twas a thing of beauty

I’m thinking tourney play in Orlando will wake them up for a couple games.
