Stats Through 18 Games:

I had to look at the box score to score the contest. Pathetic effort all around.

Congrats to @brybull1970 for winning with the only prediction for UCF. No one got points for leading scorer or rebounder because our favorite rebound pick was the top scorer and favorite scorer led in rebounds. Good work by everyone to get at least one point.

That's correct. I didn't have access to my spreadsheet when I created the post. I'm planning on editing with a stats update when I'm back at my home computer. Worst case, the next prediction contest will have the fully updated stats.

Congrats to @cophbulls for tying the season record for most points in a win. The game was a lot closer than most predicted but we still had a high scoring contest with the favorites for points and rebounds coming out on top (Collins and Durr).

It can't be a coaching change based on the timeline. And there is zero chance we pulled his offer. So it's either got a better offer, which will show itself if he signs with UF, or it's grades, which will show if he signs with not-UF or any decent academic school.

He's taking an official visit to UConn. With that, I'm thinking it's not so much about him having a better offer.

This was NOT a choke by the Bulls - they were down 13 with 12:07 to go and managed to tie the game by holding ECU scoreless for a 5:50 stretch. The keys to this game were:

• Inability to handle Gardner early - but held him to 2 points over the last 13:34 of the game
• Only 4 of 21 from three point range (19%) - hitting our team average would have netted us an extra 9 points
• While we only turned it over 11 times, we only had 7 assists - the ball movement we saw against UConn wasn't as consistent tonight (although kudos to the double screen to free up Brown for a big three pointer in the half court)
• Our guards shot 11 of 21 (53%) from the free throw line - our guards!!!

An answer to any of those four likely wins us the game.

I was impressed by the adjustment against Gardner. He was completely shut down as we were fighting back.

@brybull1970 wins tonight.

No thanks. I wouldn't be able to handle hearing his name on the regular. I have flashbacks to watching that TD run unfold every time a second string QB comes in against us.

@Fold FB Invest in BB wins today because of his belief in USF and their free throw ability (72%!).

Again, get ready for a LONG year.....not just this sport either.....how did we become the doormat so quickly!

And no quicjk fixes anywhere unforrunately

 

The rest of the conference improved dramatically in the off season while we more or less stayed in place.

Defensively, the team wasn't themselves last night. The body language reminded me a lot of what we saw during the IUPUI game (the day Kiir was announced as gone). I wonder if something happened in the locker room ahead of this game that caused another pitiful performance.
