Nice early road win if we can get it. I know we shouldnt be expecting much, but WSU is on a two game losing streak so the chance to move it to three is pretty good because the urgency may not be there, like say for example if they are on the verge of a four game lose streak. Obviously you dont want to be the team on the other end of an otherwise Top 25 programs 3 game losing streak. They certainly could be in the middle of a lull mode. Hope we can take advantage of it. This could be a good win down the road.

 

[Central Floridave]

True dat. I’m at the point not expecting to win. So if win then ecstatic. UCF does seem to be improving. Winning a tough road game would prove that.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I’ll be tuned in.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Started.

 

[UCFhonors]

Good start so far. At least Defensively

Let's get the offense going

 

[UCFhonors]

Last year we had a Houston like game @ Wichita where it was a one sided called game.

Its already started that way...

 

[UCFhonors]

They didnt call that foul vs Mahan when we played at Houston.

This could be a good game (still expect to lose big) if the game is called fair

Only down 1. Keep it close and hope you get a call at end.

 

[UCFhonors]

Exactly.

I'm happy so far

 

[UCFhonors]

I love how much Johnny changes it up. It makes the game so much fun to watch and interesting

Every game shows how good of a coach he is especially after painfully dealing with Donnie Jones for years

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Getting whooped now. Not looking good.

 

[UCFhonors]

Getting whooped now. Not looking good.

Wichita is very good this year. Probably best in the conference especially when they are at home.

Hopefully we can catch back up

 

[Happy Hands]

Good for Wichita. They have nothing else going for them. Horrible city in a horrible state. The whole city shows up because there is nothing else to do. Basketball and horse shoes are equally entertaining.

 

[UCFhonors]

If we can get the 3 to go down, we can get back in this.

Only 1 for 7 atm

 

[UCFhonors]

Wow all wingers / no post player now

Love how much Johnny changes it up

 

[UCFhonors]

Wow Matt with a big block

His defense has been really good toknight

 

[UCFhonors]

Oh damn!!!!

Sport Center Top 10!!!!

Tony with the 3 from our free throw line

 

[UCFhonors]

Good start to the 2and half. Great effort and good energy

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I’m liking the small ball.

 

[UCFhonors]

This small lineup is playing great. Lots of UCFight in the team

They are just doubling rebounding us and their shots are falling

 

[UCFhonors]

We can't buy a 3

Dazon can't foul out. He has 3

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

We can't buy a 3

Dazon can't foul out. He has 3

3s are hurting us. Johnson getting some burn.

 

[UCFhonors]

Here come the horrorible calls

Game over.

Our 2 best players just fouled out when it should be a 4 point game

 

[Nyght Shadow]

I hate officials. Both those calls were bullshit.

 

[UCFhonors]

I really hope the 3 freshmen stick with us.
Green, Dre and Tony have tons of potential.

Together they could be a great backcourt

 

[UCFhonors]

Good gosh. Now Tony has 4 fouls

 

[UCFhonors]

Matt with another big block

 

[UCFhonors]

I have a feeling the refs are going to do something stupid here to seal the game

 

[UCFhonors]

Yep sealed the game.

Great game by us. Lots of UCFight. Great coaching. But for the 2nd time away, the refs decided the game.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I’m all for giving the younger guys some PT. Play for next year.

 

[Nyght Shadow]

Personal fouls 31-19.

 

[UCFhonors]

Personal fouls 31-19.

Exactly! Same at Houston

 

[Tiemanster]

Overall I didn't feel like this game was reffed as bad as the Houston game (at least we took free throws) but some of the Smith fouls and Dazon's foul out sequence were beyond atrocious. Overall I'm glad the team showed fight and our young guys kept it a respectable game.

 

[mattropolis]

38% from 3 pt; 89% from the FT line. It kept us within striking distance. Ultimately this game came down to two periods (one in each half) of chucking up garbage shots. Twice we did some boneheaded shot or turned the ball over on trying to inbound the ball...they hit a 3. That's a 3-6 point swing each time. I would agree some of the refs calls were abysmal against us. Loved how the team fought, and how Green and Johnson played. A shame Fuller is not out there as well. These three are our future and are more than patchwork transfers. Again, depth at the F/C position killed us today. Bol and Alok contributing nothing has definitely cost us games. The next game doesn't get easier but at least it is at home.

lol. Yet from a city specific population, the City of Wichita is larger than Orlando, has less toll roads and still outdraws your basketball team even though you have about 40,000 more in enrollment. Oh, and beats you in basketball AND probably horseshoes as well.

Nice game though. “Y’All” played well and definitely think you have a good coach.

good game, don’t try to take our win of living in a better city away from us! Y’all have a hell of a team and I’m glad you joined our conference. Any chance you can get VCU to follow your lead?

Great game. Most UCFans and AAC fans are super excited to have Witchita in the conference. Not only do you have one of the best homecourt atmospheres in all of basketball, but also have an amazing traveling fan base.

Happy Hands is by far our UCFunniest poster. Take his posts with a grain a salt and laugh with them.

I still have Witchita as the team most likely to win the regular season in AAC. Where are you projecting Witchita to finish?
