Tip-off is at 11PM EST, and I will be long asleep by that point...So I'll be interested to wake-up and read everyone's commentary. Tonight is a critical game for our boys. It's never easy to win on the road in-conference, but tonight is somewhat manageable (IMO). Obviously, the Knights won't find much success against anyone if they shoot the ball poorly (again) - and dig themselves into an early hole (which they are known to do).
UCF - Net rating: 78, 2-4 in Quad 1 and 2 games
Arizona State - Net rating: 55, 3-5 in Quad 1 and 2 games
I need Jordan Ivy-Curry to pick it up a bit. His play has been pretty inconsistent as UCF has begun conference play. He seems to lack the strength to drive and finish in the paint (like Darius Johnson can), and he lacks the size to get clean looks from the perimeter against bigger defenders (like Keyshawn Hall can). The team really needs his scoring punch, I just hope he's not playing in a conference above his ability level.
And I'm not holding out hope for Sellers to come back anymore either. At this juncture of the season, we may be approaching the point where he considers taking a redshirt. There's obviously still time, but back injuries can get reaggravated so easily (obviously, he came back and is now out again).
