It sucks getting beat by 50 but the #1 team in nation who was undefeated, got beat by 30 last night. Things happen.

 

[Central Floridave]

Gators were on fire last night. I watched a little bit of that game.

They could do no wrong.

UCF needs to find that same fire.

It is to be expected if you shoot less than 21% from the field. Obviously that is gonna get better.

 

[Poolside Knight]

with students back on campus they are planning to introduce Frost at this game

Tennessee shot like 14% from 3 last night. Tough to even be in a game let alone win one doing that. Probably around what we shot.

Agreed but we shot 20% overall. That is historic. Stevie Wonder could do better

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

6 minutes and we can hit a shot 0-10. Unbelievable

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Guess this is a part of the Season where Johnny craps the bed

 

[KRH55]

Sooo many fouls on us

 

[UCFsbarro]

It’s time to get rid of Uncle Junior. New year, new blood.

 

[Central Floridave]

37-34 Colorado at the half.

 

[Poolside Knight]

this is a must win given the other conference games

Johnny’s offense is tough to watch

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Honestly, Johnny is a wimp when it comes to challenging a call. I don't know, is it the money? Is that the reason we can't compete at a high level? Combination of both. Johnny is a stick in the mud.

 

[connerito]

Nice change to the press. We’re much more athletic than Colorado is. We got to shoot and play smart though.

 

[KRH55]

This is wild. Colorado is our weakest opponent left on the schedule and this is our performance at HOME?!?

I think he's respectable in his approach. No need to shout, or throw chairs...I'll take it in today's day and age.

Colorado has some nice wins though. They did beat UConn. Who knows a lot of time left.

 

[PositYourself]

With UCF's lack of height, we'll be lucky to win 8. Hope we can reach 11 at least to get to the tourny but I think we're dreaming.

 

[PositYourself]

How is the attendance?

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

I think he's respectable in his approach. No need to shout, or throw chairs...I'll take it in today's day and age.

But the refs know Johnny won't say anything. He commands no respect

 

[PositYourself]

With the way they are playing, this might be UCFs last chance to find a win in this conference.

 

[Central Floridave]

75-74 UCF wins. Horrible game for the refs. wtf.

 

[connerito]

A W is a W! Game changed when Ucf went and pressed Colorado. Their athleticism won the game. That won’t happen many times in this league though.

Good shooters gotta make foul shots. A few misses by our good shooters can’t happen.

2-1 Charge on

 

[Poolside Knight]

that 5 second violation 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️…glad we escaped with a W

 

[next1984]

Had em all the way

 

[Willie Knightime]

Colorado has some nice wins though. They did beat UConn. Who knows a lot of time left.

Didn't know they beat UCONN. That's a nice win. Every game in the Big 12 will be tough.
