Igbanu and Korita start

 

[Weatherdemon]

7-0 start and attacking inside

 

[nevadanatural]

Good start and everyone is playing hard. Igbanu is doing a great job inside so far.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Igbanu with 2 quick fouls

 

[Weatherdemon]

7-6 under 16
Etou nice job getting the foul on Fall

 

[Weatherdemon]

No one is here, lol

 

[TU1NNJ]

Need to take care of the ball

 

[nevadanatural]

Still too many turnovers but we're fighting hard. Down three but it's still early. I'm disappointed we haven't taken advantage of Fall being on the bench.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Passing up too many shots

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

UCF is good. Very good looking team. Dawkins has it "going well" in Orlando.

Tulsa ain't close to UCF. Just getting worked hard.

The eye test says UCF is a tourney team.

 

[nevadanatural]

They are going to have to shoot the ball.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Nice Etou!

 

[nevadanatural]

Nice play by Edogi and Etou.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Tulsa's Achilles heel for the past 10 years... offense against zone defense.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Now, attack the rim more!

 

[Weatherdemon]

Nice run to tie it up!

 

[nevadanatural]

Nice little run there to tie it up. We're shooting much better than we did Wednesday.

 

[Air_Raid918]

Drive the ball and attack this zone. We've been too complacent passing around perimeter. Tacko has 2 fouls. Need to get Taplin back to how he was playing. Driving and creating for others

 

[I.I.]

Zone offense tentative. Will have to make threes to win.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Blown away the refs didn't call Taplin for a foul on the strip. It was clean but it seems to be called a foul on the defense 95-99% of the time in college.

The Etou and 1 against fall was a beautiful example of air control to still get the shot off. Lots of contact by Fall on that one.

Great run. Let's go TU!

You're smoking crack. UCFs offense is throw up a shot and hope the miss is on the side Fall is set up on and let him grab a rebound. They're not good on defense unless you get too close to Fall. We're just not hitting the open looks we're getting.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Nice Edogi to Etou

 

[Weatherdemon]

I like the pace as long we're hitting our shots.

 

[Weatherdemon]

9 assists to 4 TO is nice to see too

 

[nevadanatural]

Getting a little playground now. We need to run our offense.

 

[cmullinsTU]

They're literally one of the best defenses in the country.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Magnay playing tough inside. Love that

 

[Weatherdemon]

Wow. Outstanding D!

 

[nevadanatural]

Good first half and a three point lead at the break. Hopefully we can keep attacking and close it out in the second half.

 

[I.I.]

Effort is getting us the lead. This effort we beat ECU by 10.

 

[Weatherdemon]

The energy is so much better. If we can maintain that we can wear them down and get an advantage late in the 2nd

 

[Weatherdemon]

Hello Birt!

 

[nevadanatural]

Again, nice start to the second half. We're doing a good job of keeping Tacko from getting close to the basket. That was one of my keys to the game.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Dang, 3 on Igbanu and Korita not hitting

 

[Weatherdemon]

Wow. Some strange calls

 

[I.I.]

Gonna need Henderson.

 

[nevadanatural]

good thing we have inside depth since they've decided to call touch fouls on our bigs.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Tulsa's offense runs better without Wheeler it seems...

 

[Weatherdemon]

2 quick fouls on Birt. He has 3.
Officiating getting tight

 

[nevadanatural]

That was a horrible call on that Etou rebound.
