Really hope vik plays today. Ucf is very talented
Hendricks will be a first round draft pick and sneak into the lottery. He's also a bad matchup for us. We did a great job on the rest of their team in the first meeting. Need a repeat of that but it's going to be hard if vik doesn't play and our inability to rebound without him on the floor continues.

No Vik. UCF -3.5 might be the bet of the day unfortunately

Durr is eating Ezikpe's sh*t for lunch

4 turnovers off of just throwing the ball away. Not good.

Battling

If uc battled on the glass like this against Tulane and ecu they get 2 wins despite losing vik. Need to keep going hard after every rebound.

Playing pretty well actually. Need to close out the last couple of minutes here

Pretty good half so far. Shooting it well. D looks good, but UCF making shots as well. MAW with some bad turnovers but has made up for it with a couple of threes. Would like to see stop shooting off balance threes...Davenport, Nolley, DDJ...that's about it on the bad though. Would like to be up more the way we have played.

That’s a goaltend.

That should be waved off

Wes standing behind the refs waiting for call instead of in locker room...classic

Pretty good half. But they've managed very good first halves in their last 3 losses. Need to finish this one.

-3 Offensive rebounds, -5 Turnovers. Should be up a lot more.

Well, bless your heart...

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.

So true. It's getting harder to get enthused about first half competitiveness when they keep running out of gas in the final minutes of the game. Don't get me wrong, I'll take the halftime lead on the road but I'm keeping my expectations in check for another hour.

As an aside, I just find the entire UCF "space u" uniforms and swag so juvenile for a P5 program.

UCF got 6 offensive rebounds off of 20 misses.

UC got 3 offensive rebounds off of 11 misses.

Virtually even.

Thanks. Always good when the numbers match what you think you're seeing.

I think a couple of those were "team" offensive rebounds where two UC players went for the ball and neither got it...bouncing the ball out of bounds. Those are the most frustrating. Ha

Hilarious assist by Ezikpe

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.
