UCF Hoops hosts 3rd place Cincinnati today (Sunday) at 2 pm

[Knight_Light]

UCF hosts these big uglies (Cinci plays a tough Big East style game...sometimes have players that look more like LB's than hoop players) in AAC action today at 2 pm at the CFE/UCF Arena.

Hopefully, refs will call this game more like a Big East game (let big boys bang, call less fouls) which will help Blair and McBride stay out of foul trouble.

Here's a preview from the UCF side of things:

I watched the game on DVR last night. UCF battled for what they got. Cinci is a great team. Athletic and disclipined. UCF could learn from them. I just keep telling myself UCF is a young team and will make mistakes. And, they do.

The season is basically shot for a chance for any post season play. I don't see them doing anything in the AAC tourny. So, keep the learning curve going up! Keep battling. And, at least beat duh*bulls...
