3/4 1 seeds haven’t looked that great first half. They are beatable but UCF will have to catch fire shooting.
Tacko is like 8 feet. Tracy Wolfson is 5’2 and she’s at you know what level
First at large bid!
First NCCA win!
What an amazing time to be a Knight!
Soke it up!

I must be on the wrong board... they look like a bunch of crying babies.
UCF...not just a football school
Did anyone on tv see that VCU guy clip Allen with his elbow coming out of the timeout with 4 minutes left? I hope Allen talked trash after the game was over
Great win guys ...
On another note hope Houston obliterates Ohio State.

Need to make duke play the some way. If they’re gonna win. Make DRJ and tre Jones makes 3s. Vcu and duke are about equal in 3 pt % make them win by playing to their weakness
Eh. She old. There’s better talent on the cable networks. She probably eats activa yogurt.
Older the berry the sweeter the juice.
I don't see this full-press defense very often in college, or maybe I just don't watch a lot of college basketball outside UCF. How can this possibly be effective? Sure, it worked a couple times for VCU tonight having 2 or 3 guys up front breathing in our face, but often it left unguarded guys down the court. This gives Terrel or BJ opportunities to chuck the ball downfield to an open guy. Not to mention, this extra running has to tire out the defense quicker. What am I missing here?
Easy turnovers leads to easy baskets. Plus it wears down the guards on the offense
There's probably not many teams(if any) that run a full court press like VCU. It does a few things though. First, it'll expose poor guard play. If they don't have good ball handling or make good decisions, then it'll create turnovers for easy points. Second, it takes time off of shot clock. If it takes you 10 seconds to clear the press and get organized, 1/3 of the clock has already run off so teams have less time to get a good look and run their offense. Third, it'll expose teams with poor depth. A full press team like VCU typically goes 10+ deep so that they can keep up the pressure all game and the other team will be worn out by the end of the game if they aren't able to give their main players some rest.
There can be easy points if the other team breaks it, but the hope is that the benefits will outweigh that. We did pretty well with it, but the press actually forced Collin Smith to the bench for the most of the game so that we could add an extra ball handler out there. So we lost some of our size and that's probably also a perk for VCU as I think their tallest player was only 6'7".
Many times UCF slows the game down offensively with big leads and they lose. They play slow and sloppy and have a hard time getting back in rhythm and wait too long in the shot clock looking to score. I'm glad they didn't wait too long to get back in tempo. Duke will be a big test for us to see where we really stand. Can't wait.
