UCF shooting like trash but somehow are up 21-19 with 3:54 left in the 1st half.
Not even a Utah UCF Bball thread ?

Hendricks has 4 pts. ?
Thiam is playing well. 18 pts on 8 for 10 shooting.

The crazy thing is if they can win out, which are very winnable games, get a game or two in the tournament they still have a chance!
It would be hard to keep a 20 game winner from this league from the tournament. HOPE. !!
Both teams went up by 10 at some point. But there was a stretch in 2nd half where it was constant lead changes.
Pretty good atmosphere in the arena considering student section was basically empty…
The backend cover once you have played your way out of contention, nice Sunday Pool day for Students.
Sunday games unless you are a tourney team are not a good idea. Laying in bed is more important than a basketball game when you are hungover.
I’m 100% surprised whenever they win.
Utah fired their coach. They are 7-9 in B12. Dawkins is lije 5-11.
Dawkins needs another extension. Making coaches get fired when you beat them. I did find it odd they had like 3 black players on entire team.
Drastic!

Probably more to do with very little nightlife and alcohol and weed not on every corner. But when recruiting for basketball you would have to target mainly white kids ti have a team like they do. I’ve seen swim teams with more color.
I was in downtown Salt Lake just last year. There is ton's of nightlife, alcohol and weed on every corner. I had no trouble finding any of that.
Talk about clueless. World class ski/snowboarding, summer mountain biking. Yea, tons are religious, but It's a very open city. Not what one would think. Mormons are very nice people, but a lot of secular there as well.
My in-laws live there at Powder Mountain. Or, did. But still own a home there.

Ok I misspoke. The titty bars don’t serve alcohol if you can get lap dances. Which is most of them. That is where nba players lije to visit. Orlando clubs suck too with the nudity rules and probably why they don’t like orlando
Either.
Either.
I'm sure most NBA players are strategizing their future earnings on the number of "titty" bars in their area.
Sorry, on vacation in Ireland so didn’t get to start a thread for this one. Streak broken, new streak about to begin. Thiam is getting his first 20 point game soon.
They don’t have to strategize. They know where not to go. No one goes to Orlando willingly. Shaq wanted out bad. They were winning. It’s not a fun town unless you’re under 18 or over 30 and have a family. Young players don’t lije SLC, Orlando, Milwaukee etc. Money talks but if other cities offer similar money they go other places.
Donovan Mitchell wanted out of Utah and mentioned living there and the lack of diversity as a reason. it is usually one of the hardest places to get free agents.
..... right !! .... because if there is one thing pro athletes are famous for it's planning a financial strategy for the future ...
I wouldn’t put Orlando in that low of tier, Shaq actually lived in Orlando for a good number of years after leaving the Magic. him leaving was more bc of idiots like Bianchi thinking he wasn’t worth the money he was seeking and he felt slighted.
but yes for Pro Athletes they will prefer Miami over Orlando for the most part.
Don’t know what Bianchi was thinking but Shaq is the most popular player ever for Magic. Sell out every night and go deep in playoffs. He was worth 5x what he wanted.
Ok but you're talkin' about diversity.
I'm talking about the per capital ratio of "titty" bars in a city.
Shiiit. I had most of my fun in Orlando during my 20s. You don't think that fun is part of the reason kids come to UCF in Orlando?
