It was EAR SPLITTINGLY LOUD and I loved every minute of it!

As Michael Jordan would say, "It was so loud in the arena last night, they ceiling is the roof."

Not much to do in Orlando this time of year that doesn't cost $100. The kids are on spring break.

Actually, March is probably the busiest time of the year in Orlando with so much going on.

What made last night's record crowd even more impressive was that student tickets were "limited" and capped, unlike the previous 2 largest crowds (Memphis 2009 and Marshall 2011) when student overflow accounted for probably 3,500-4,000 in attendance those nights while last night, UCF sold tickets to general public in the 2nd level South hoop end for first time ever.

Oh, and the Magic had a home game last night and even though they are terrible, they probably still drew an actual crowd of 14,000 or so as most attend those games for free (client tickets).

I've enjoyed watching the Knights run in the NIT!
Great job and kill it in NYC!

BTW... if you can go to MSG for these games, do.
My wife and I had a stellar time there when Tulsa won it in 2001

Congrats, UCF! What a fun ride you are on.

I won't compare ECU's CIT run to this because the NIT is INFINITELY tougher and INFINITELY more respected... but winning in the postseason is fun!

I'm excited for this match up. UCF is playing really well winning 8 of their last 9 with the only loss to SMU in the AAC tournament. TCU has won 5 of their last 6, but was on a 7 game losing streak prior to that.

TCU will be without starting PG Jaylen Fisher, but he was out for the Iowa and Richmond games as well and TCU didn't miss a beat offensively. But it does hurt with depth in the back court if fouls become an issue.

We are best when we run our offense through Brodziansky in the post, but when Tacko is on the court for UCF that will present a match up problem.

Here is to a good game and hoping both our teams are in the NCAAs next year.

I am very bitter right now I have taken my nephew to basketball games for the past three years and he called me the other night and said the TCU Dayton game was the most exciting basketball game he's ever attended

Wish I could have been there for this one. Crowd seemed electric. Even if it's just the NIT, its great getting a few more wins under our belt in the postseason, not to mention 2 more P5 wins (hopefully 3!).

If we win the NIT championship we'll break the school record for wins in a season... in Dawkins first year... in the best basketball conference we've ever been in. (granted a down year for many, but still hands down better than C-USA or the A-SUN)
