My comments. Keep an eye on UCF Basketball as the year progress.

UCF BASKETBALL WILL BE IN THE FINAL FOUR THIS YEAR. My write up after watching the game: I'm going to buy some tickets for future games. UCF basketball is going to be really good this year. I can see this team in the NCAA tourny and going deep into it. UCF basketball is very tall, deep talent, and well coached. They need to work on free throws like usual (hold back from donnie jones free throw curse). 6'11" Collin Smith is going to be an absolutely super star. Tacko (now listed at 7'7") is playing very great defense. Senior Chad Brown fouled out with his energy and toughness. Senior (best UCF player ever) BJ Armstrong took over a segment of the game with ball control and a team high 22 points. Terrell Allen a secret weapon dagger in the heart shooter. Aubry Dawkins (6'7" Coach's son) is very tall and physical and plays tough defense and quick and smart on fast breaks. He was off on 3 point shots but if he starts hitting that. UCF is UNSTOPPABLE. Oh yeah, DeJesus. Go Knights UCF 84 Rider 70 Final.

LOL. You guys will see. Just wait. I was super impressed with them last night. They definitely need improvement in some aspects of the game but they got it together at the end.

This team will make the NCAA tourny and probably go deep into it. hoping for final 4! Go Knights!

Rider of course doesn't have a 'name' however they did win the MAAC last year and favored to win it again. They returned all 5 starters. They looked small compared to UCF.

ESPN Joe Lunardi has UCF in as a ten seed preseason.
http://www.espn.com/mens-colle...sketball/bracketology


UCF hasn't been in the NCAA tourny in a very loooooong time. This is the team to do it.

UCF was playing twin towers 6'11 Colin Smith and 7'7" Tacko Fall for most the 2nd half. Rider couldn't get a shot off.

Colin Smith who is a transfer from Georgetown I think was very impressive. At 6'11" he was handling the ball and running up and down the court like a point guard. Hope he stays healthy. NBA talent in my opinion with that size.

Well, I'll let the season play out. You guys will see at the end. I'll be here. It is not just me, the media predicts UCF will win the American conference. go ahead and piss on the American in Basketball. That will be interesting to see you do that!

The AAC is a significantly better BBall conference than it is Football conference .... course it pretty much blows chunks as a football powerhouse.

And yes, in the end we will see, cause regardless of Garcia personal opinion, The NCAA runs a damn fine National Championship Tournament in roundball, that is immensely popular, successful and does an excellent job of truly determining who the best teams are and who is Nat Champion.

I am still waiting on a wager number from you Dave ..... I will even give you to the start of the conference schedule.

No where in my report in last night's game did I say I wanted to gamble on my prediction. I'm a fanatical fan. I can say outlandish things like that because I hope it comes true, not that I want to win or lose money on it.

That would be a bad bet anyway. But, I do think UCF makes the tourney this year and goes deep. Final Four would be awesome. I like UCF team this year. They look good.

I never said that the basketball tournament was not a damn fine tournament. If you had read my post, you wouold understand that the point I made was that what works for basketball (after more than 50 years of refinement and expansion) would not work for football.

This is the danger of getting all fired up when your squad beats the "Rider" collages of the world.

You will learn one day young grasshopper.

Its early season. FAU had a shot with one second to go to win. I was like really. I'm thinking the team will learn from it. At one point ucf had a 20 point lead and the let off the gas. FAU couldn't miss shots. The game could have gone either way at the end and we went up by 1 point with only a few seconds on the clock. But, it hurt losing. FAU I don't think are that good. Rider looked like a better team. Its basketball. an early season loss may help the team in the long run. Looking for a silver lining. LOL.

Bassey of Western Kentucky will be the NBA. That guy was great last night just young right now.

CONWAY, S.C. (AP) - The Latest on Myrtle Beach Invitational (all times local):

8:40 p.m.

Aubrey Dawkins hit five 3-pointers and finished with 21 points to help UCF rally from an 11-point deficit and beat Western Kentucky 78-62 on Sunday night in the championship game of the Myrtle Beach Invitational.

Tacko Fall, a 7-foot-6 senior, and B.J. Taylor each scored 13 for UCF (4-1). Taylor was scoreless on 0-of-7 shooting in the first half before making 3 of 4 from the field, including both of his 3-point shots, and 5-of-7 free throws after the break.

Dawkins hit back-to-back 3s to open the second half to give the Knights a 34-32 lead, their first of the game. Charles Bassey answered with a jumper but a dunk and then a jumper by Fall sparked an 11-2 run that made it 45-36 after another dunk by Fall with 15:51 to play. WKU (3-2) scored seven of the next 10 points to pull within five about four minutes later but would get no closer.

Bassey scored 13 of the Hilltoppers' first 17 points as they built an 11-point lead midway through the first half. The 6-11 freshman finished with a season-high 25 points and 10 rebounds and has three double-doubles in five career games.

fyi, Western Kentucky is favored to win C-USA preseason. They were pretty good, UCF took one on the chin early but crawled back and then held a ten point advantage most of the game. Western Kentucky looked like they may have got tired towards the end. Probably spent too much energy beating West Virginia the previous game.

Great win for UCF though. Resume' builder winning a tourny! LOL all you want at "Western Kentucky". That is fine. Fun game to watch for me.

You guys will eventually come around. I'll be here for you when it happens to offer support. Go Knights! Charge On....

Auburn was a consensus preseason top 10 team .... Get up with the times, please.

UCF beats Bama. UCF bball has some flaws. But nice gritty win against alabama.

Concerning Auburn: Bruce Pearl probably should have been fired like his assistant did with the FBI NCAA investiation. But, You can't take away Auburn's Bruce Pearl Coaching. He did get Tennessee as a great team before he got fired there for violations.

I'm totally up with the times. I thought Auburn may be hit with NCAA sanctions and they still might.

Why Auburn's Bruce Pearl, once on the hot seat due to an FBI investigation, got a contract extension
It wasn't that long ago that Pearl was believed to be close to being fired, but a lot has changed since then

Well, that espn article is the main article of the day on the main page of ESPN.com NCAA page. Good exposure!

Maybe UCF will slide into the top 25 this week with the win. Who knows. UCF basketball has flaws for sure but nice gritty win last night from a respectable Bama team. Bama has a young team. They had a freshman player that was really good. They may make some noise in the SEC this year.

UCF beat bama last night on experience and Tacko inside presence. The refs called a bad game against both teams. Bama made a run at the end but ran out of time.

next game At Mizzou Sun Dec 2nd. 3pm ESPNU.

UCF Men's basketball finished 10-2 in non-conference games. They are just two plays away from being undefeated. The two losses were settled in a final shot. Next are conference games starting in January. Conference will be tough. UCF is predicted to win the conference pre-season. that hasn't changed. #21 Houston is currently undefeated. Temple looks tough.
UCONN is surprise team also along with Cinci. They looked really good last night slaughtering Illinois State 77-56. UCF finally got their groove on and playing like a team on a mission.

Coincidently UCF Women's team is 10-1 in non-conference. Maybe slide into the top 25 if they beat Syracuse next.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Aubrey Dawkins made five 3-pointers and scored 18 points, Tacko Fall posted his 20th career double-double and UCF defeated Illinois State 77-56 on Friday night.

Dawkins was 5 of 7 from the arc, while Fall was 5 of 5 from the field in scoring 11 points with 12 rebounds. B.J. Taylor added 15 points and five assists and Collin Smith scored 12 for the Knights (10-2), who shot 51 percent in extending their win streak to four.


Dawkins had 10 points and Taylor nine in the first half when the Knights outscored the Redbirds 16-0 off turnovers, 10-0 on second-chance points and 22-6 in the paint in rolling to a 43-18 lead. UCF led by as many as 29 in the second half when Illinois State didn't get closer than 13 after a 9-0 run.

UCF is off to its best start since going 14-0 in 2010-11.

Although it appears UCONN is not good this year, UCF did just beat them @UCONN 65-53 for the first time ever.

2-0 in conference play, 12-2 overall.

fyi, Bama beat #13 Kentucky a couple days ago. Good for UCF RPI!

Then Houston (in American conference) is #15 in ESPN power poll.
15. Houston Cougars (15-0)
Previous ranking: unranked
This week: at Temple (Wednesday, 7 p.m. ET on ESPNews), vs. Wichita State (Saturday, 8 p.m. ET on CBSSN)

One of three unbeatens remaining in college basketball, the Cougars are sort of the forgotten of the trio. Kelvin Sampson has this team rolling, though. They're one of the best defensive teams in the country, and while they don't have a Rob Gray on the offensive end, they have multiple options. Houston has already defeated LSU, Oregon, Utah State and three other top-100 opponents.

I went to my first UCF basketball game yesterday. UCF beat ECU. It was a pretty good game that UCF dominated the entire game. ECU did make it close at the end though.

UCF is now 13-2. 3-0 in conference.

Women's team is 14-2 and making waves as well !

They lost 3 in a row and then won their last game ..... not exactly a big time "roll"

UCF snaps USF 5 game winning streak tonight. And, a recap of American Conf. UCF is on the bubble for the NCAA tourny. They have the toughest part of their schedule coming up. I've watched every game and attended a couple. UCF is streaky. When they play great they are great and could beat anyone. Tacko Fall in his senior year is playing really good, especially down the stretch. He is 7'6" and getting NBA looks. Is he NBA talent? IDK, but he does play great defense and has potential on offense. He has improved for sure. Will be interesting if he does make it. Houston and Cinci are the hot teams in conference now. However, UCF plays them final games. Will be interesting race to the top. Conf playoffs are @memphis.

#9 Houston Overall: 23-1 Conf: 10-1
Cincinatti Overall 20-4 Conf: 9-2
UCF Overall: 18-5 Conf: 8-3
Temple Overall: 18-7 Conf: 8-4
USF Overall: 17-7 Conf: 8-5
Memphis Overall: 15-10 Conf: 7-5

UCF remaining schedule:

2/16 Memphis @UCF
2/21 UCF @Cinci
2/24 SMU @UCF
2/27 UCF @USF
3/2 UCF @Houston
3/7 Cinci @UCF
3/9 UCF @Temple

March Madness coming! UCF needs to win and a ton to make NCAA. They are healthy with no injuries. Everyone playing pretty good.

Go Knights!

Thursday night game UCF @Cinci 7pm ESPN2.

If ucf wins they tie in 2nd place with Cinci. Somehow I don't think UCF will win, but keeping the faith! The knights need a good showing as the bubble watch is heating up.

Ugh, UCF only scored 18 points in the first half w/15 turnovers. Came in the 2nd half and took the lead, but Cinci wins at end with some clutch threes and free throw shooting. I'm thinking UCF isn't going to make it to the NCAA tourny. That first half was gawd aweful and they couldn't close out Cinci at the end with the lead. Too inconsistent. Flashes of greatness but so very inconsistent. Cincy didn't look all that good either but they are sitting in 2nd place of the conference. Cinci visits UCF in a few games. Hopefully a revenge win for UCF.

Letting that Cinci game get away dif hurt .... after a solid win over Memphis.

They have 6 games left (including Cinci at home and Houston away) and to get an at large, they prolly will need to sweep them all AND make a deep run into the Conf Turny ..... or get hot at Turny time and win it for the automatic bid.

I watched the game on DVR this Sunday morning. Had to ignore everything not to know. Phone on airplane mode since last night. Needless to say that game was awesome! That should propel us into the NCAA tourney and on to the final 4! (knock on wood). If you live nearby and don't have tix for the last UCF home game on Thursday against Cincy you are silly. I got tix right behind UCF bench. Look for me on TV.

Best 2 hours I've spent in front of the TV in a long time. Sooooo close. Shouldn't have been, but that's the nature of sports.

Probably the best recruiting tool for UCF basketball ever. What a game.

Now that my friends is what I would consider a DOOOOOOZY of a game.. A Barn Burner if you must... A very veryyy tough pill to swallow. UCF fans do not know much about college basketball from the comments I have read on social media lol but this should expand the recruiting horizon drastically for Knights BBALL. The game was called fairly and I give UCF madddd props for hanging with those blue turds.
