Playing UCF is going to feel like we’re playing 5 vs 8. BJ Taylor gets calls like he is James Harden. Every little bit if contact on him is called a foul against the defender.

The officials in this game are just simply horrible.

It is clear the AAC is protecting UCF with the way this game is being called. Not even close to consistent or even

UCF is better than they were last year also. Dawkins can play.

Not saying they aren’t better as a whole. Tacko is still Tacko and is only good for 3-4 minute spurts. Just saying the games I have seen them play, they are definitely protected by the refs. Every minute touch draws a foul by Taylor, and then a UCONN player gets hammered hard enough that it might draw criminal charges for molestation in 48 of 50 states, and nothing gets called.

That escalated rather quickly
 
ECU looking really good at home against Cincy. Up 9 at half. Doubt they can maintain, but playing with lots of energy and shooting well.

Picking up road wins will be crucial for us. I had already written at ECU a win but not if they play like this.

It didn’t take Cincy long to take the lead. 12-2 run to start the 2nd half.

The ESPN announcer just mentioned the Cincinnati Leprechaun’s apparent anger over an easy bucket saying “Mick Cronin is visibly unhappy, seething, the veins on the side of his neck are visible”.

Funny little leprechaun he is

Cincinnati can be had. They do not have the same rebounding toughness their past teams have had. ECU has grabbed a few offensive boards in just the few minutes I’ve watched and Cincy players just standing and watching
 
UCF takes clear advantage in AAC with big road win over UCONN. Road wins will win this conference. SMU got one but it was Tulane.

I didn't watch it. Do you mean literally knocked out in a collision?

Yes a player was checking in and the official started running up court with his head turned and got checked by the player and went straight to the floor. They had to finish with 2 officials
 
K-State was extremely overrated...glad we got them when they were ranked.

How did Memphis rise so high?

K-State did lose their best player Dean Wade, the pre-season Big12 POY. He tore a tendon in his foot 3 weeks ago and could return this season.

Another starter Stokes has missed some games too. Not the same team we beat.

Unfortunately Nevada is getting their arse handed to them by NMSU. Hopefully they come out of the funk pretty quick...
 
The Nevada loss is inexplicable, but the Pit has always been hard for visiting teams, but that was when the Lobos were good.

Cinncy was just a fail at ECU. That's not the first time a good Cinncy team lost there.

SMU has shown nothing yet.

K State's losses will not count until they have their starting team back.

BUT we have a big game next Thursday and the students will be back so Joiner can cheer them on.
I look for a narrow TU W and a step towards the top 50
