Men's basketball vs Gard Webb

Yeah my excitement was lessened once Dawkins got hurt. No Tacko low is killing us. We have no low post game.
This team is not in sync yet. Losing BJ does not help. Need to get some scoring from bigs to open up things for the guards and shooters.
DeJesus is good for a freshman. He's going to have to learn on the fly. Helps us for next year and possibly later in year when BJ and Tacko return. AJ rebounding pretty well. Rokus needs to work on hand eye coordination.
Just when I thought Laing would only make appearances in blowouts he sees significant time. Good stopgap but not really good enough to be the PG backup.
It's the highest form of true basketball. NBA is star biased. Let's them bend rules to gain viewers. I like it. Tourney games are fun.
Whole game was. But take any team minus 3 starters and see how they play.bc gambling on them is convenient
Go UCF though, that first half was brutal
Anyone (Including Coach Dawkins) want to talk about last knights horrible free throw shooting? Are we cursed with bad free throw shooting or what!!! #%4&$#7$%#856!
Shot 70%. That's decent for individual and great for a team. 3 point shooting was terrible. I think 13%.
Outside of the fortunate 28 FT's UCF made, which was the difference in the game (to just 10 for GW), here are some of the other highlights from last night's game (with Daniel's radio call)
Key was UCF getting into the bonus both first and 2nd halfs...as most had an ok to good night at the line:
Brown: 8-10 (80%)
Dejesus 4-5 (80%)
McSpadden 6-8 (75%)
AJ: 5-7 (71.4%)
Griffin: 2-3 (66.7%)
Allen: 3-7 (42.9%) Biggest shock as he was 6-6 on Friday night
Without Tacko pulling in defenders down low...nothing was open much on the perimeter since they didn't need to double team anyone by the lane...so UCF shot just 2-15 from downtown which was a killer.
Not sure when the last game was that UCF hit just 2 three pt shots in a game.
A couple were air balled. The flow of offense started off nice but then stalled.
I like how Dawkins kept Tacko's injury under wrapS before the season opener. I guess he didnt want to damper fans' spirits.
It's not the same team without him....or BJ.
