Hoping for an upset.

See you at the game!

Should be fun. At least the games are close enough to be exciting and we are really trying....great effort that is!

With UCF's leading scorer and "QB" out for tonight's game (BJ Taylor), great opportunity for others to step up.

With just 8 eligible scholarship players available for tonight's game...UCF will need all to avoid being in foul trouble.

Hope McBride can go into BEAST MODE but I think Temple tries to collapse around him...as UCF probably won't be driving the lane as much without Taylor.

Nice that the game is on tv! CBS Sports Network.

A few games, Donnie has been sending small guards inside to score (and be fouled). This strategy way working because we were drawing the foul and making our foul shots (or the layup) while the BIGS from the opposing team were getting in foul trouble. But then for some reason we stopped this strategy.

Brandon was our guard doing most of this (and BJ)
