UCF game thread

Calling our offense disorganized would be too kind. Way too much talent to look this bad
Who is the talent. Maybe Rachal but trying to do too much . After that not much. Jackson nice driving but not much else. Joiner average two guard playing point that does not shoot very well. Average to poor bigs. Two guards that shoot 30% or less. Not sure I understand the talent.
 
At least we’re only down 9 at the half. If we can start passing and moving on offense we should be able to come back.

Rollout called it out earlier, it happens to Jackson or Rachal a lot, but we get lead feet on drives and stand around lately.

No one rotates into the passing lane or attacks their defender with a cut to the basket. Those plays look like bad choices by the person driving, but really it's on the perimeter to move once the ball sinks below the free throw line.

Please argue with someone else about this.
 
Junior high offense. Whoever gets the first pass after crossing mid court struggles to make their own shot or simply turns it over. Ugboh ties his whole season total in rebounds and then loses them all back on turnovers. At least KES had a great shooting touch. We should beat UCF easily with our talent.🙁
 
Once again Haith will turn this game around at halftime with his adjustments he almost did it against a great Smu team erasing big leads at the half. We own the boards 21 to 13 and now we need to fix turnovers and free throw shooting and leaving people open for 3 pointers. If I remember correctly we had these problems before. Down 6 at the half I mean 9 I forgot about the wide open 3 at the half geez oh well that’s the first half we don’t try until the 2nd half. Gotta love it.
 
Get rid of this staff.
The "interim" AD.
The silly "interim" president.
And get serious.
Now.

Or, just stop. Just please stop...
 
UCF is not very good but they spread the court, share the ball and don’t turn it over. We are 0-3 in those areas. We should beat them 12-15 points. The announcer are right We are not playing with any effort.
 
Time to bench some players and maybe get their attention. Put the freshman in and see what they can do. This game is over

Haith one of my all time favorite persons as a coach. Recruiting is just not his gig. To see none of the freshman able to provide any court time is really telling especially when our starters are not getting it done.
 
This is simply unacceptable against a mediocre team
Haith has lost the team, has no idea who to coach them, and sits passively on the bench

If we had an administration that cared, he should be fired tonight

UCF is not SMU

It’s hard to keep watching

I guess I’ll just hold back my donations in 2021 until Haith is gone

And they are on fire from the 3 tonight which is what is killing us. And it is not our defense giving wide open 3's

I wrote a check in 2020 - held my nose - but it was not as much as I usually do and I added a note that once we get new HC's for FB and BB, I'd multiply it by 10. Not holding my breath. :)
 
I don’t know why Haith isn’t just playing the bench. They can’t turn it over any faster than these starters. They are embarrassing.
 
The whole team pouted after that last offensive possession and didn’t get back on defense. Only Haith can correct that and he didn’t budge from his spot on the bench
 
Feel free to switch over on ESPN+ and watch Tulsa physically dominate a much bigger and athletic UCF team. It’s one TU goal to nil with 39:00 minutes left and it’s starting to get dirty.
 
After a good offensive set, Joiner forgets how to play basketball for the next three offensive and defensive possessions

II... Tulsa doesn't make it difficult for them. They are running downhill due to many things they don't need to do or exert on both ends. That tends to give life to bad shooters.

I expect a comeback. But will it fall short?? Maybe this time we overtake them at the buzzer.
 
If Tulsa just rotates off the drives they can get open shots. Need to move when the ball gets inside.

Lot more toughness will be required. They will have to stay focused, play through contact and not worry about the refs.
 
UCF getting tight. Missing wide open shots.
 
Glad to see UCF struggling. Good defense and rebounds may win this one in a big comeback.

We are going to have to be tough. It's been a long ride on the struggle bus. Tune out the refs, just play whatever hand you are dealt. Keep their heads up and play as a team and they can win. It's two possesions at the under 4
