If you are a YouTube member you may want to subscribe to UCFAA’s videos. Hopefully we’ll see many great highlights from the remainder of the basketball season! I think this is a great idea on UCF’s part to make this happen. The right video could get a lot of play and it’s all free marketing!
Here’s a link to the UCFAA page and here’s “THE DUNK” from Jermaine Taylor against UTEP.
UCF beat UTEP 109 – 80! Yes that is not a typo. UCF scores over 100 for the first time since 2004 and UTEP gives up the most points in over 40 years! Just an amazing night, this team as the makings of something pretty special. I’m sure we’ll have some bumps down the road but right now things are looking good.
On the bad side Stanly Billings got injured and according to Kirk in the postgame it’s not good. Looks like he’ll be out for at least the next few games, not good news considering we have some big games against UAB and Houston coming up. Stanley has been playing at a whole new level over the past 3-4 games so this is really unfortunate for not only the team, but for Stanley himself. Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looks.
Back on the positive side Jermaine Taylor put in his nomination for dunk of the year by posterizing not one but TWO UTEP players on a single dunk. Couldn’t have happened without the great alley oop pass from MOD. Sorry guys no pics for videos this time, but instead I’ve got stats for you!
Team FG: 70.2%
3-pt FG: 64.7%
Dave & Tony FG: 100% (13 for 13!)
MOD & Jermaine FG: 78.8% (15 for 19)
Great job Knights, let’s get a big crowd for UAB next Wednesday!
I’ve gotta admit I’m impressed with how many UCF highlights there are in a video review package from a ECU site. That’s pretty good unbiased reporting…
Looks like Taylor was a beast this game. Also impressed by the comments from the ECU coach.

FILL THE ARENA FOR UTEP ON WEDNESDAY!!!
Here is a good preview of tonight’s UCF vs ECU basketball game from the Greenville, NC paper. The ECU coach really gives UCF some major props. However this is likely going to be the toughest ECU team we’ve faced since joining the league. Our 7-0 winning streak over ECU will definitely be challenged tonight, but I think our boys can do it!
I’d point you to the Orlando Sentinel preview, but it’s only a little blurb in the paper nothing even online. Gotta love the local paper, sigh.
Here is a very interesting site which forecasts all NCAA basketball teams, including our very own UCF Knights. At the time of posting the forecast for UCF basketball is to end the season with a 18 – 12 record and an RPI of 112. I gotta say that sounds pretty darn close to what I expect this year. I may give us the benefit of the doubt though and go with a 19 – 11 record.
This is not my video, but someone called freakiak uploaded this to YouTube and thought it did a good job of showing the excitement in the building during the 3rd overtime. I think this is after Jermaine hit his second 3 pointer, but I’m not positive. Great stuff…great atmosphere!
What an unbelievable game and atmosphere on Saturday for the Tulsa basketball game. If someone told me 5 years ago that UCF would beat a team like Tulsa in front of over 7,000 screaming fans at home I would have told them they were crazy. What great progress this program has made, simply amazing… [Read more →]
Over 7,000 fans on hand and UCF wins over Tulsa in the 3rd OT. More on game later, including some videos- but I did post some good crowd shot pics so wanted to get that out there. Helps for those that may be out of town and couldn’t go…
If you are a UCF fan, even if you are only a football fan, you need to be at the new UCF Arena this Saturday night! UCF basketball plays their first conference home game in the new arena against a great opponent in Tulsa. Add to that the football team will be on hand to be honored at halftime for winning the C-USA championship. Add to that the first 5,000 fans will receive the sweet championship poster shown below for free. Then add to that after the game the national champion cheerleaders will be performing their 2008 competition routine. It’s the makings of a GREAT KNIGHT!
No excuses Knight fans, let’s fill that arena up!
This weekend was a first for me. The first time I can ever remember going to live UCF sporting events FOUR days in a row. I’m exhausted now, the voice is gone, but I’m a happy man. Here are my thoughts, pics, and some videos from the extended weekend.
