I'm kind of with you; we watched the Georgia game only during commercial breaks in the UC football game. Saved it on DVR but erased it without watching.

I did see most of the first half against UCF. I realize our Bearcats have lots of problems of their own but I thought the officiating was just ridiculous with 15 fouls on UC in the first half. Am I wrong on that? I know our guys do get out of position a lot right now but I thought the officials wanted to be the stars yesterday. I'm guessing the double technicals were more about what the officials heard than what they saw.

Doug Shows and his crew are the worst in the business. I absolutely agree with you (and I'm not blaming them for UC losing, UC lost the game plenty of other ways and UCF had guys who hit some big shots as well).

Thank the Good Lord for UC football.

True. We either have nine more days, or eight more months, to bask in the glow of an undefeated UC football season. If it's nine days, basketball talk will ramp up quickly, especially if we don't see some improvement in both team play and results.

I'm not giving up on Brannen as the coach as I think that's premature. But the problems seem to be occurring with most every player on both ends of the court. This team seemed competitive against decent X and Tennessee teams, but it seems to have regressed since then.

That's for sure, Mahan was giving me Steve Logan flashbacks. The dude is fearless and can flat out shoot/score.

Spring Practice is just around the corner in March. Don't want to take this into another COVID thread, but I don't see why we could not have a Spring Game.

UCF v. Houston has been a quality basketball game. I think Houston is final 4 good, but UCF is pushing them. Quality basketball team.
