Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4256654, member: 7492"] I just read the "New" ranking of the 16 teams by Fanside and Sports Illustrated and I think both rankings complete discount how good UCF really is and was playing at the end of the 2022 season. UCF dominated the AAC, dominated their conference tournament, had great defense all season long and we well acquainted with our style, home court and some of our players. UCF was as tough a second round opponent anyone else had and I would venture would have given any of the seeds ahead of us a good run or beat them outright. I also seem to remember many of the pundits discounting Villanova and Creighton who both played exceedingly well, and in Creighton's case against an opponent they also knew well. UCF is not getting the respect from the national press in my estimation that they rightly deserve. Maybe a much easier win against a more well known Indiana team will shed some positive light on both UCF and the win UConn had. Doubt it but a guy can dream can't he? :cool: [/QUOTE]
