UC loses leads so fast. You blink and their 8 point lead is gone.

What are the shooting numbers? Felt like they rebounded pretty well that half. Might just have had fewer offensive rebound opportunities.

I've been very critical of their rebounding the last few games. I was happy with their effort on the glass in the first half.

UCF got 6 offensive rebounds off of 20 misses.

UC got 3 offensive rebounds off of 11 misses.

Virtually even.

I don't look at it like that. In my view every rebound should be grabbed by defense so offensive rebound = turnover regardless of number of misses.

That's fine but it's not the reality of basketball works.

They hit a couple contested 3s and then Ezikpe loses his man in transition. Frustrating

I hate when we just post iso nolley instead of trusting our stuff. We've been getting in the lane off our action and getting open outside shots. No need to abandon that.

Putting Nolley on the low block offensively apparently is not the right strategy. It has failed two games in a row.

Ody has slowly developed on offense this year. Promising.

"Steal it!!"

Brutal bounce there. Great defense for 28 seconds and the guy hits the jump shot from out of bounds off the corner of the backboard and it bounces right to their best player.

Nice, we are now in the bonus

Feels like Wes is trying to find a run stopper and a late game go to without vik (who is usually where we go in those places). I think it's a reaction to the end of the Tulane game.

I would just rather run our stuff. We don't have what he's seeking

Refs are going to take over the rest of this game

Ucf getting a couple makeup calls

Up 7. 10 to go. UCF has us right where they want us :)

Hit after gift and this UC is incapable of taking control

It seems like Nolley shoots 50% on free throws when it’s a 1-1 situation.

Nice to see Ody and Ezikpe both play with some dog in them today.

Stay focused Cats!

We're right where we have been our last 3 losses. Finish it this time!

I didn't start watching til the second half, but UC has looked pretty decent. A pleasant surprise so far but plenty of clock to go.

Refs are here
