Men’s Basketball Preview: Knights take on Oregon in NIT

[ucf1]

They [Oregon] have three different centers 6’11” or taller who will see meaningful minutes – and the Knights will need to use an all-hands-on-deck approach to be competitive in the rebound department.

We should press right from start and sub frequently. Wont beat them in half court sets.

50% of their points, 40% of their rebounding, and 75% of their assists.

Good game if you like watching 3's getting jacked up every possession. UCF doesn't have the height to stay in this game unless they set fire outside for the rest of the game starting now.

yawn time to switch to the real tournament

The Dawkins era cannot end soon enough. I’m so sick of the consistently inconsistent .500 play over the last half decade.

Unfortunately, I would think UCF keeps him on to usher the program into the Big 12, and then moves on from him when they’ve had a year or two to collect BIG 12 money. I would absolutely love Dusty May, and I think it would make so much sense, but I just don’t see it happening.

As far as tonight, I’m not saying it’s ever easy to go out west and win a game. But Oregon was down three starters, UCF should have been able to keep the game a lot more competitive than it was. Durr was a complete no show in his final collegiate game, Johnson was a non-factor throughout organizing the offense, Kelly and Horton combined to go 8 for 28 from the field (3-14 3PTA's). And that was the last we will see of Taylor Hendricks at UCF. It will be starting all over again (again) next year in the best conference in the country.

Just overpay and get Jay Wright out of retirement. He’s only 61. He could be around 3-5 years and set (reset) the foundation for our bball program.

Might have been way more competitive if we did this. They looked so uncomfortable when we started pressing, but it was way too late.

I think he may be waiting for Glenn Rivers to get fired from the Sixers, unless they win it all.

Hate to tell him Junior College would be extremely lucky with 3300 attendance.

I remember going to UCF basketball games in the 80s and there would be maybe 50 people there.

One good thing about sports teams is that there is always next year. Hoping for improvement in both Womens and Mens UCF basketball teams into the Big-12. There should be some exciting teams to come play here in Orlando. Go Knights

Looks like he is going after the Athletic Program for not promoting the game, driving interest in the program. If athletic program doesn't care, fans don't care. Sounds familiar.

And quick to point out if he's holding the program back from thriving, to fire him.

Even in mid to late 90s only a couple hundred showed up in old gym. We even had a Minnesota transfer that was ok. I only went to a few games. Our home opponents were boring.

Was Oregon on Spring Break? Getting mad at fans for not caring about a secondary tournament when the main one has 64 teams is dumb.

Above they said he was mad at AD for not promoting it.
