Obviously, it would have been great to win, but UCF wasn't a must win at all. Funny, sort of, going back and reading the hysterics (from the usual group of posters), saying that we were out and needed to win the conference tournament to get in.
It is possibly a must win for Cincinnati, and our team should understand that that is what they are going to get from them. They are playing mostly good basketball right now. Ideally, we beat them and then they go on a winning streak. It could end up being a Q1 win.
Totally agree. If we win this game, then we are in a good spot.

We need to win this game, there's no doubt. It would go a long way in boosting the confidence of our new starters too.

We've seen Nolley have atrocious shooting games, hopefully tomorrows is one of them.

USF beating UCF will be a big help.

They're going do it, just a matter of margin at this point. South Florida is a much better team than their early season performance indicated, and the American is criminally underrated. South Florida almost beat the Coogs at home, and UCF gave them a good run too. Go Bulls.

I’m sure the incoming small guards were part of penny pushing Tyler out. Just have to wonder what Kendric and Tyler would have looked like together instead of the alternative

Very happy to see the young man doing well with the opportunity he was given. He will always be a Tiger to me, except when we play the Bulls.

I figure that will be a close one, but the Aggies could pull it off.

UCF just lost to So. Fla. Tyler Harris had 33-6-7 for the game.

Yeah, I saw that pop to the face he did. Refs want Kentucky to win. He should've been ejected for that.

I think he's been pretty healthy this season, unlike last year. Doesn't bode well for us unless Penny has been working to fix those defensive lapses. The last press conference I listened to, he sounded like he's getting frustrated at the lack of awareness and execution, so hopefully that has been the team's focus of late.
Today should prove to be a strong test. I'd love it if Dandridge makes an appearance, even if for limited minutes, but we really need Lomax. Our already weak defense is much worse without him, and he does a great job bringing the ball up the court.

Yep. We need to dig deep and find a way to steal this game. Doesn’t have to be pretty. Schedule lightens up for a week or two after this and can hopefully get a little healthier

It will be interesting to see how the cindy road win moves the needle on the net. It moved the RPI up to 19, which is somewhat significant.
