UCF at OSU

[Chairman of the Board]

Will this be the most lightly attended game this century?

UCF comes in having lost 6 in a row, but before this they were playing pretty well. They beat TCU easily at home, played tough in Allen Fieldhouse, lost by 1 to Houston, beat A&M and won AT Texas Tech.

OSU is 264th nationally, somehow UCF is worse at 297. But they do have a guy, Keyshawn Hall, who averages 18.5 per game.

If we don't play astronomically better than we did last weekend, this will be a loss.

Free admission.

Pokes are favored by 1.5.

Go Pokes!

In the pregame interview, Lutz said you can't really gauge how the team is going to do based on practice, but hinted that they don't always get mentally really before the game starts.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Up 11-7 early

[SanditeCowboy]

Nice start. Keep it up Cowboys!

 

[HacklemanPoke]

Nice start. Keep it up Cowboys!

I am so glad we are winning. Taking good shots and knocking them down.

But we are so bad fundamentally on defense. If they were shooting better this is a 2 possession game.

We just leave guys wide open on the line. There is zero communication

Watch how ucf overloads one side and then drives the ball to that side. Our help is so far off the line we jump at the drive and give up wide open 3s

 

[Chairman of the Board]

We had a fast break, didn't share the ball, ends up in a miss and a layup for UCF

38-28

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Another missed layup ends up in an and 1 for UCF

40-31

 

[SanditeCowboy]

Talk about brother-in-law basketball…

 

[Chairman of the Board]

quick 5 pt run by OSU puts the lead back to 14, timeout UCF

Good stuff

 

[HacklemanPoke]

Also helps that UCF has no focus or effort.

It’s sad bc Dawkins is one of my favorite players of all time.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

53-36 U4 TO

Just jacking up 3s now

53-40 at half

Hope we don't see ever see that lineup that ended the half ever again

UCF earned a T on the way off the floor for half

 

[SanditeCowboy]

Very happy to see the Cowboys up double digits. What an ugly game. No defense, just street ball. Cowboys went the last 3:25 of the half without scoring or it would be a bigger lead.

What’s crazy about the approach and rotation to end the half was Dow not taking one. He obviously is in the rotation to knock down 3s. He’s slumped lately but he had at least 3 good looks and he moved the ball without one shot.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Thought we'd send Jennings to the line and not Bryce. He goes 1-2

 

[Chairman of the Board]

2 fouls on Dean in 15 seconds

Headed to an early bonus
