line at UCF -7. Opened at -8.

I hate games on Valentine's Day. There's no way to win that one either way.

We whooped these guys pretty good, but I have little faith in our team right now. Maybe they'll surprise us, but I think it's more likely that a couple of players are wearing Mickey ears and about as excited to play as they were on Christmas.

The first game was close until the end. I expect Matt Williams to shoot much better on his home court. We will have to shoot much better than we have the last few games and not turn the ball over or it could be a blowout.

The officiating was really bad last game. I don't think it can be as bad. We did get lucky that Davis and Fall were in foul trouble. We had a good game plan for Fall. I like our depth, but then again we need a couple of guys to step up.

UCF has not been playing well either. But, I think it will be another big L for TU. ECU, UCF and @ Tulane are my hopes for a 500 regular season. Tonight would be a surprise W.

Where is everyone? What is this, Valentine's Day? Losers.

Ok, rivalcane gets a pass because he's helping refugeees and immigrants from depressed places. But the rest of you, c'mon now.

Only Wheeler and Henderson driving to the bucket. Whether or not Taco is in, we've got to drive the ball to attack this zone. Same story as last game vs UCF.

This isn't very fun.

Hey, it's like the Christmas game. We can throw in the towel early and spend time with our families. Everyone wins, right?

Of course, at our house, that just means we're watching Elmo. But I'm sure some of you can go do something else. Perhaps help rivalcane help immigrants. Because ITS is about people helping people.

Well since this game is looking pretty ugly... let's use this thread to discuss the Whisky tastings at the Don Rey.

I can introduce people to some nice bourbon. I think @Gold* can share Irish Whiskey. Anybody here enjoy Canadian?

Hey, our press works. Why didn't we do that earlier against Jackrabbit State?

Finally!!! We're pressing!!!! Love the half court press...leads to offense, which we're obviously struggling with. Nice move coach

There are a lot of UCF students who don't have dates tonight. Given what Huffy has said about them, I'm not surprised.

We didn't have a Fall in Tulsa this year. Leaves are still on some trees. And not much of a winter. I wouldn't accredit that to Igbanu tho. I blame Inhofe.

Wish Magnay had made the freebies but honestly after being down 12 earlier 4 at the half isn't bad.

The last 6-7 minutes of defense was beautiful. Hope Haith has the guys continue playing aggressive and pressing. UCF is a turnover prone team and we need some fast break buckets.

Birt is 4/30 inside the arc in the last 6.5 games. At some point, you have to tell a 13% shooter to stop taking 5 of those shots per game.

Igbanu is a really good player. He has really done a good job handling Fall and keeping him off the glass.

I know. I've been saying it all year.
I think we have been seeing more and more of his abilities in the last 2 weeks. It's unfortunate that the rest of the team has not played to their abilities during that time.

Considering we were down 11 or 12 at one point and not showing much life at all, I had just about decided to switch channels and not put myself through the continued misery. Of course they suck us back in with some good D and hitting a couple of shots.

Birt- 8-10 minutes a night max to spell someone and play some D. He can't hit the ocean from a sunken boat right now.
