UCF @ Iowa State

[PaulsDriveIn]

UCF @ Iowa State happening right not. Iowa State is a Final Four contender, UCF is not.

Points in the paint: 54 to 22.

We seem to be fine playing any team without paint presence. Our 3 ass-kickings came to teams that just dominated us in the paint.

We're too small.

We're too small.

Mikey is gonna be good. Creates space and can shoot n pass. We need a nice PF to go with Thiam. U r right we r too small with no depth there. Guard wise we r good. Actually played better then the score, too many turnovers

We do not box out....plain and simple. We also don't have near the talent of ISU. When will we be able to compete? Not sure. 2 years from now? 5 years? Never with stick in the mud dawkins?

Dawkins has a style that fits the Big 12 with the physical defense that will give us a few close games that we will blow bc we can’t hit free throws(Houston). then a few games that the bottom falls out where the end result is another NIT.

The question is should we expect better ? it is a different conversation than football. I do prefer to watch a more open style like what FAU ran under May. it is a grind watching the games sometimes, I stopped watching at Halftime.

We should be thrilled to finish with a middle of the pack Big12 finish/NIT invite every year.

Mikey has a lot of potential. But you keep insisting that Thiam's a C...he's not...he can block a few shots but that's the extent of his D. He's a PF. We need a big enforcer type to plug up our hole in the middle. At the start of the season I suggested that Johnny's got 2 other big guys and he needs to communicate their role to them. I don't think he has and if it's because he doesn't think that either can do that job then he needs to use this offseason to get the right big guy(s).

Thiam can be a forward because he shoots so well, but if you put a power forward next to him, that’s a space eater, it helps. Thiam definitely needs to be utilized at the back end of the press, because of his block shotting ability . I don’t care if they put him at center or they put him at forward, but we have nobody else that could play center. The transfer from LaSalle is extremely limited and I don’t see anybody else who can play center on the roster imo. U r right a space eater should be a priority this off season.
