Offense
- Total team effort last night. Everything was clicking for the Knights in the half court.
- 9 three-pointers in the first half! 11 for the game. #handdownmandown #whyhave2whenyoucanhave3 # BWWwings
- Even more impressive than the Knights three point shooting barrage were the 18 assists to only 7 turnovers. You want to analyze team chemistry? Look no further than the assist to turnover stat line.
- Scoring was evenly spread with Spurlock, Clanton, Sykes, Newell and Wilson all scoring in double figures. 83 total points = UCF basketball answer to the fiscal cliff... Free oil change at Carl Black
- East Carolina played 2-3 zone most of the game. ECU struggled guarding Clanton playing man-2-man in the previous matchup so their game plan was clearly to contain him with a zone. Unfortunately they did a poor job boxing out and the Knights had 20 offensive rebounds.
- Should I even talk about Sykes' second triple double of the season? I'll see you at the Intangibles section. #SykesYouOut
Defense
- Knights mixed between man and zone.
- Newell did a great job of frustrating Miguel Paul. Newell forced Paul into 8 turnovers on the night. Kept ECU out of rhythm.
- Knights forced 16 ECU turnovers and capitalized almost every time scoring 17 points off those turnovers. #Lockitup #NoYoulockitup
- Great job of guarding the 3-point line in the second half. ECU is a very streaky team and their shooters are known to get hot from the outside quickly. Held ECU to 25% 3-point shooting in the second half.
- Apparently Clanton can rebound the ball fairly well. #FearTheBeard #BITB33 #Iwantabeard
Intangibles
- Most basketball players go an entire career without event coming close to a triple-double. Isaiah Sykes now has two this season. A truly remarkable feat.
- This team is playing its best basketball of the season right now.
- Why won't UCF Marketing feature me on the Little Caesars dance cam? I love pizza and dancing, but my future wife says that dancing in public for pizza is not for people who cannot dance. #irishproblems
- The Beard is now the all-time leading rebounder at UCF. So many congrats to a true UCF Knight!
- Marc Daniels and I will always be Team Calzone during the Mellow Mushroom race. #Georgeneedshiscalzone #seinfeldquote
- All-American trainer Andy Reber was bested last night in the best dressed category by SID of the Year Doug Richards. Doug was sporting a deep V cardigan and a blue bowtie. #bowtiealwayswins
