Gotta give props to JJ for his floor game last night.....As I was watching I became amazed @ how he operated within the offense and made UCF pay for their defensive lapses.....Joe took the shots that HE should take......And in doing that, his focus was zone-like, as it seemed that HE couldn't miss....

Shaq was a beast as well with the ferocity in-which he rejected shots from his domain was awesome....So happy to see OUR guys get FEROCIOUS like TIGERS as it seems confidence is coming....

I don't know IF they were peeved @ the refs; or IF UCF was talking smack; or their legs have more stamina with the departure of Hell's Trainer....BUT I really enjoyed what I witnessed......

It's a heck of a coincidence, the 3 point shooting and Frank's leaving...

That was also a coincidence.

I've never seen our games repeated...unless they were shown on ESPN3.

It IS possible that Frank's training regimen was different this year compared to last.
I'm not saying it was, but it's entirely possible.

Frank had nothing to do with missed shots, but at the same time Pastner showing his guys he was willing to change things up to help them make shots probably gave them a little boost of confidence. Beyond that, when you think about it, it all makes sense. Joe probably overachieved a little last year with his 3pt %, he's always had a very flat shot, so its taken him a little longer to get in the groove. It always takes Crawford half a season to get hot. Took Dixon most of the season to learn his role on the team, not to mention he spent a year away from organized basketball. Geron is a little strange, although I did hear mentions that him bulking up in the summer did throw off his shot a little. All in all, Chris is over 40%, Dixon is now around 38%, I think since the Connecticut game Joe is shooting 50%, and Geron is still struggling but has improved slightly in the past 4 or 5 games. I think as a team right now we are up to 32.5%, and I would guess we will probably finish the season around 35% to 36%.

We got 4 guards that can play the point, defend, dish and score. They start hitting shots consistantly ...

You can watch replays on watchespn.com. They are usually available for at least a week or more.

Defend....I think you might be reaching there...

Take away the insane shooting performance by UCONN which they have failed to duplicate since the defense has gotten better each game. Especially in the second half where adjustments are made. I think UCF shot 20 something percent last night in the second half.
