Official UCF Sports Thread - Basketball: NIT Bid? Football: Spring Practice Underway

Have stopped watching UCF football games lately. It was bored to watch. It was not fun anymore since Gus taking over. I am not surprise why he was fired by Auburn. UCF football program will not be the same as long as he is head coach.

While we wanted more wins than we got, it's a consolation prize seeing that Tulane upset the CFP-contending USC.

The fact that we gave the Green Wave one of their two losses shows that this Knights team can beat anyone which is all you can ask for no matter the results.

Keep the faith and charge on.

Not sure if people are paying attention, but UCF's men's basketball team is playing really well and as it stands currently has an NCAA tournament at-large resume.

A win tonight goes a loooooong way if they can pull it off. Team has lost very few and most have been a single possession, except against Houston (who is now #1 in the country) on the road, which was a 6 point loss but was a single possession game in the last few minutes.

Nice! My Longhorns had a hell of a game too. Came back to win after being down by 18 in the first period.

Isn't Memphis Penny's team?

This squad seems like a rag tag team( aside from hendricks) that just plays hard. Seems like a bunch of players transfered in and out in the last year or so casue I don't recognize many of them on the roster. They are better then I expected them to be this year. I habe to try and catch a game. Sometimes when it's a game like the Memphis game they can be better then magic games lol.

like 90% of the minutes played last season transferred out or graduated. It's pretty insane the success the team is having given it's filled with transfers and freshman.

I had food poisoning last night (still recovering), so I turned it off with 5 minutes to go, lol. Just finished watching the rest of it, epic comeback and win. Gutsy given two starters were out and two more fouled out in regulation. This team has no quit in them, and that's exciting. Plus they make free throws, which is a nice change of pace for UCF, lol.

There’s a rumor the canon is back for next season. Neighbors should appreciate that we don’t have frost or heupel as coach next season.

I'm pretty surprised. It speaks to UCF's brand power and increased influence over the last few years that this is even a possibility given the complaints it will undoubtedly bring from those neighborhoods.

Happy we got the UF win.

Odds were always going to be against us in Oregon.
Nice to play in that arena at least.

The end of a very odd season, where so many games were close and didn't go our way. I imagine Hendricks will be announcing for the draft pretty soon, and then it'll be time for Dawkins to reload the team after the season to get ready for the inaugural Big 12 season, where .500 would be an amazing accomplishment, lol.

That’s potentially pretty cool.

I think it’s going to be great for recruiting imo. Playing there will be a lifelong memory for the athletes.
