OFFICIAL GAME 22 THREAD: SMU vs. UCF

[1983 Cotton Bowl]

I worry about every game, except maybe ECU at Moody. Need a win on Wednesday. Can't take UCF for granted. They're not Nova. . . but they don't suck.

I guess what I'm saying is that WE KNOW that at Temple and at UConn are always tough, but UCF is very underrated and very good and right on our heels in the standings and we only get one shot at them in the regular season. So, yeah, sweep Moody and win this game and I like where we're at. All I'm sayin'.

Will be interesting to see what the crowd is like for a 6P est tip. Could have trouble getting folks to the arena on-time.

Their opponent shooting pct is 34% or something scary like that. I'm concerned. This has the makings of a squeaker.

Need to get Tacko out of the game early (fouls/out of position on D) and disrupt their two dead-eye 3pt takers. Looking for senior leadership on the road, and a big game from Shake.

[ojaipony]

Tacko has taken big strides since last year. He logs a lot of minutes from what I can tell, he's not just a lumbering giant taking up space and not much else anymore. We will need to keep him moving/thinking. I'm looking to someone like Ben Moore to have a big game, his speed should be an issue for them. I think they are the next best team in the conference outside of us and Cincy. I expect a dogfight. We beat them at Moody, but at their place it's going to be tight I'm predicting. Great ball rotation and getting steals is key.

SMU -3.5 at UCF

Our athletes vs their home court, their giant and their gunners.

If we shoot well, don't give them easy 3 point looks and stay out of foul trouble we should be fine.

Any PonyFans in FL attending?

I'll be there.

I would not be surprised to see UCF plant Tacko in the paint and have 4 guys guarding the perimeter in a match up zone. We need to own the D boards and run, so hope we are playing with 7 man rotation tomorrow. I worry about how effective our half court O will be given the "Tacko" factor

If they do this plant Semi at the high post
