UCF
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022
9:00 PM Addition Financial Arena ESPNU The Bearcats travel to UCF (16-9, 8-7 AAC, NET #92, KenPom #101) tonight as the two teams face off for the first time this season in a battle for 6th place in the AAC standings. Despite returning most of their team from last season, the Knights' 21-22 season has taken on a similar trajectory to the Bearcats' in that both teams showed lots of promise during the non-conference schedule (both teams got their NET rankings into the 40s) before enduring much rougher stretches during AAC play. Both teams take lots of 3-point shots and both have made about 35% of their attempts during conference play (UCF shot just above 35% for their non-conference as well, while we shot below 30%). The key tonight will be to chase their best shooters off the 3-point line and make them beat us closer to the rim where they've shot 43.3% on 2-point shots during AAC play (2nd worst in the league). The Bearcats are 2.5-point underdogs on the road. |

Thanks for doing these previews every game QueensNYC. I lost my motivation when we played ourselves off the bubble. I want to see the young guys get on the floor as much as possible.

At this point I just hope to see us be somewhat competitive and play defense... Still been disappointed lately.

That half made a good case of working its way into the bottom 3 of our worst of the season so far.

ESPN might get the top 10 highlights from a single game. And zero plays from UC

Showing some life early in the 2nd half. Let's see if we can get a few stops.

sounds familiar. Come out piss poor, make a run late in the 1st half or early 2nd to give a little hope, only to squander any chance of a real comeback. Against shit teams. Never thought we would be this bad.

To think that this same UCF team lost to USF by 24 is just as mind-blowing as this same UC team beating Illinois by 20.
