Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4254952, member: 26"] WE had so much trouble with UCF - but they "only" had 3 losses this season. They did lose to both Tennessee and Iowa early - both games by 9. They did beat Belmont earlier in the year by 12. Aside from a brain fart against Cincy, they won every game but that the rest of the season. Hard to really get a feel for how "good" they were nationally. I'd love to have seen them against another really good team - SC, Stanford, L'ville, NC state, etc. I think maybe it's hard for some folks to look at the final score and say "why?? They were "only" a 7 seed". I think they are better than that. Looking at this game, they "feel" like a top 10 or top 15 team. Too bad we can't "order" games like take out and say "I'd like to see UCF play _____". Whilst not thrilled with the MOV, hats off to Christyn and Azzi - both of them had big moments and solid play. BTW the announcers said NUMEROUS times that the atmosphere was incredible. So loud that the whistles could not be heard. The student section must have been going bananas, but kudos to the old fogies (my parents were there) who turned off their hearing aids and yelled super loud!! [/QUOTE]
