There is a sliver of hope the media is wrong and the committee takes a serious look at UCF's resume, but if it is truly a pipe dream...
Being in the NIT is one of our greatest achievements up to this point and, as much as I REALLY dislike Rompza and Marcus, the entire team has just been working hard.
I'm happy that we are improving the program, it seems.

I dont think that after losing so bad to Memphis we get a bid to the NCAA. The NIT however, is probably where we go. Hopefully hosting at least a first round.
I am glad Rompza is gone after this year. His high school BS on the court stopped being funny 2 years ago and seemed to get worse when he came back this year.
MJ needs to understand he IS NOT the whole team. I would go so far as to say Sykes is the better player. I would also like to see Clanton get more agressive in the paint and become even more of a presence on the court.
Overall though, the team has gotten beter each year and I look forward to next year. Hopefully CUSA does something about the zebras. They are really not even good enough to call high school games most of the time.
Only losing PJ and Rompza next season, and with wilson stepping up and spurlock showing a sliver of talent, we can only get better next year. This Year? Semi's and NIT. Next year? Finals and NCAA. Winning in the finals and making it past the first round NCAA may have to wait till we get some Big East talent though, imo.

And preferably recruits who are in control of their emotional faculties.......
This year I predict 0-1 in NIT
We just play really poorly on the road. For whatever reason, this team has completely lost all composure very easily in several road games this year when facing adversity (usually after a bad call or 2 from a ref).
I think we make Final Four. So, 3-1.
to get to the semis we have to (potentially) beat Seton Hall, Miss State, and others... AFTER beating drexel. We have the highest RPI of the quarter, but we still need to play our best. None of these games are gimmes. I'd love to see it be Marshall vs UCF in the finals, but just to make it to the Semis and on would be a successful season for us. Hopefully we win this whole thing and spring vault into next season.
