Word of the day:
Lethargy
We should be up by 20. Tulsa has no talent.

Tulsa vs UCF
- Thread starter mattropolis
- Start date
Knights win 76-67. Not really as close as the final score would indicate though. UCF was up by 17 with less than three minutes left.
Big game on Thurs at Houston....great opportunity for this team to pull off a big upset and start turning around some of us naysayers. It's our NCAA tourney game and it's time.
Interested normally you know what you have and your chances at this point in the season. This team has so much more potential if they would only put it all together with consistency.
Really need to go 5-0 or 4-1 in the last 5 games and get into the top 4-5 in conference.
Johnny seems to have finally focused on playing 7 or 8 guys and that helps continuity. It took him quite a while, didn't it? In this case, he went into the season with no clue as to how he was going to play his guys, had 2 guys quit because of it, and it had an obvious impact. Inconsistency has been the definition of this season. Now let's see if he sticks with these guys going into season end and the conference tournament. And it also helps to have Diong staying out of foul trouble.
Mahan had a monster game going 5-6 from 3 while playing 39 mins.
Adams had a sneaky 3 assists in just 7 mins of play. (He did also have 4 fouls).
UCF was 10-23 from Downtown which was the main difference in the game (Tulsa was 6-19, including TWO banked shots).
UCF was just 8-14 from FT line as big guys struggled.
Perry had 5 of UCF's 10 steals while having 4 assists and 4 turnovers. (Walker also had 4 turnovers as UCF had 15 total).
UCF never trailed in this game which was good to see, even though Tulsa had a few runs thst made it close.

very ugly. Man even the announcers said, ucf looks so confused on offense. Honestly, with turn-over perry, we looked like Kirk and Donnie's street pickup games. A few less 3 pointers and we lose.
Adams is a huge disappointment (kid looks lost). Walker, rebounding ONLY. How was he 5 star? oye.
I think that is called rotation. You do that when you have depth which is our biggest strength this year.
Are we really trying to find the negative in everything this year?
#UCFacts
Adams didn't adjust well when he was obviously taken out of the starting line-up this year...sometimes you seem glimpses of his old attaching self...which is something UCF will need next year since they are losing a lot of 3 pt shooting (Mahan and Perry).
Walker is shooting better this year compared to last year as JD keeps taking him in and then out of starting line-up:
2021: 44% FG, 14.3% from 3, 7 pts per game, 5 rebounds per game, 58.1% FT
2022: 50.4% FG, 40% from 3, 8 pts per game, 5.5 rebounds per game, 59.7% FT
In his only year at Oregon (2019-2020), he played about 15 mins per game and his stats were: 38.1% FG, 29% from 3, 4 pts per game, 2.5 rebounds per game, 48.6% FT

Yes but they run an effective 3-3-5 defense that our coaches have no answer for
