Not sure who we prefer to play tomorrow. I'm thinking Houston because we match up better but then UCF will have played two games prior to tomorrow so maybe they're the better match-up since they will have played their third game in a row.

I'm just happy as heck that we're playing tomorrow!

UCF up big over Houston at the half - 39-21. The post player for UCF already has a double-double (14 points & 10 rebounds). Sounds like UCF is a helluva athletic team. Going to have our hands full tomorrow (unless of course Houston can get super hot in the second half and come away with the win). UCF shooting 48% - Houston shooting 24%.

Safe to say we have the absolute hardest draw for the semi-finals. I've been watching UCF light it the heck up against Houston. Shooting 53% for the game. We're going to have to play really well tomorrow - UCF is not showing any signs of exhaustion.

Maybe UCF better worry about us. Yes, we lost to them in Orlando and I like Cannon. But we were running neck and neck with them until about the last 4-5 minutes when our turnovers killed us.

UCF beat Houston - 79-66. Two UCF players combined for 46 points. Starters played a lot of minutes. Let's hope they're worn down by tomorrow!

Considering what we lost from last year, that's one of the most extraordinary stats of the year. Yes, Gilliam and Wills are very good, but we lost a ton of talent.

It's an absolute crime that Coach Rompola wasn't named C-USA Coach of the Year. That ECU kid (L. Terry) is good, but Gilliam was the better player yesterday, and the better player all year. Hope she plays two more days with a major chip on her shoulder.

Didn't a couple of people say UCF is the most talented team in the tournament? Sounds like they really whipped a decent UH team - moreso than the score.

Wow, UTEP really collapsed at the end.
