Pitt just beat LSU in this same mini tournament.

Wisconsin is 5 point favorites. Ranked in top 20. They beat Arizona and are undefeated. Thus would be a statement game if UCF can pull the upset.

I gotta watch the game recorded on dvr later tonight. The family has me going to see wicked.

Go Knights!
 
How in the hell did they get four teams to agree to play in a tournament at this decrepit old gym?

Wisconsin rolling 🏀

Too many empty offensive possessions. You can’t do that against the team like Wisconsin, which is going to utilize every possession.

Is this announcer the same one that does the home games at Ucf? If it is, I am shocked that he got work on two different stations as bad as he is.

No. He does sound like Mike though. Mike O’Donnell played for us. That’s why he announces our ESPN+ games.
 
15 down is doable.

If they can clean up their foul shots and get good shots (they seem to be throwing anything outta control at the basket) they gotta a chance. First five minutes in the second half r very important.

Keys to the Game:
1) 70 from the FT….check
2) 30% from 3pt…0 for 9…0% (Going to be crazy to get this anywhere near 30%)

Exploiting our two weaknesses: slow starts and points in the paint.

We’re toast.
 
Here we go again, SOS, Dawkins sucks, always has. UCF deserves to be losers, which they are, for keeping this knucklehead as coach. Last year they started winning 10 against Lipscomb (Div 2), Jax, Stetson, UNC Charlotte, Maine, FL A&M, BCC, Cal St. Fullerton, SD St. and FIU. They have ZERO HS recruits for 2025 and 2026 and one prayer for 2027. I would show up at the next game and demand that Dawkins be fired!

First off they lost to Stetson, second chill out. Still had some great wins last year in the big 12. This year already beat A&M, FAU, even Purdue FW all inside the top 115. It’s a bad game, it happens even to Kansas, UK, Duke, etc
 
Wisconsin has always played to gain the right way. Their ball movement and player movement on offense is great. Their defense and positioning is second to none too
 
This team needs to shoot foul shots instead of free THROWS It seems like they throw the ball up from the foul line on foul shots. No consistency or attentiveness at all.
 
Bad game. I basically just fast forwarded thru the 2nd half never seeing the score get close. UCF looked loss on offense. Couldn't buy a bucket. Wisconsin is a tough team.

Next game: UCF vs LSU Sunday 3pm CBS Sports Network.

We were simply beaten by a better team at this stage of the season. Wisconsin had better big man play, a guard who penetrated and scored at will and others who shot the 3. That makes for a really good team. For us, I was disappointed (again) in our big man play (we were outplayed down low, both offensively and defensively), Darius had a second straight mediocre game and didn't attack the basket, and we shot the 3 horribly. Easy win for Wisconsin. Let's see if we can turn it around against LSU.

Wisconsin looked built for a deep tourny run. Came out with purpose and on point. UCF looked like a rag-tag group and playing pick up basketball. It makes me wonder how good Texas A&M really is and still ranked in top 25.
 
LSU just came out the 2nd half with more energy and tied it with 20 seconds left. UCF had a last second look but clanked off the rim.
