After a very slow start in the second half, Kyle's 3 cuts the lead to 5 with 16:05 to play.

Kyle seems to get in foul trouble every other game. Or at least every road game against a big-time opponent. He didn't do that in the past. Any certain reason why that's changed this year?

Incidentally, MJ's kid is scoreless with 4 fouls tonight against us. Evan isn't much better at 1-of-10 (1-of-7 from 3-pt attempts).

They were able to regroup after the foul plus double-techs. We weren't.

That's part of only having two upperclassmen, both of which are walk-ons.

They have three upperclassmen but one senior.

We have one walk-on senior and one walk-on junior.

OK, I'll bite. Young players as a rule play much better at home than on the road. Moreso than veterens.

That's what I get for taking JE's word :lol:

Although our senior is no longer a walk-on.

McMasters had 2 stinking rebounds! 2. ONLY 2... HOW DOES A 6'11 BASKETBALL PLAYER ONLY GET 2 REBOUNDS???? You almost have to try to not get them!
I'm not mad, and I know he has to work and get stronger, but I'm just very

wow...i went to this game, and bad doesn't even begin to explain how this team played...I know they are young.....but they missed so many wide open looks.....the only thing that kept this game entertaining were the ucf fans...they thought every call was horrible and were ready to riot even when they were up by 20....

KO is an idiot, if i were coach I wouldn't play him...his antics are just getting old...whenever he allows the refs to get into his head its pretty much over....

this team just isn't very good, they work hard...but thats about where it ends, they need to learn to take the ball to the hoop if the 3's aren't falling, well they just need to learn a lot, there is no excuse good enough to lose to that ucf team by 20+ points....its a good thing the big south isn't very good this year

I agree with you on Kyle as my opinion about his attitude is well known....HOWEVER, i just looked at the box score and one of the refs was Duke Edsall. That guy is garbage ( that the nicest thing i could think of) so ill give him a pass for this game.

Note - to all you refs who always rush to anothers defense. I am not critical of any other specific refs but him so take a deep breath before going off haha.
