My assertion that UCF is a trap game relies on 2 assumptions. Please tell me with which you disagree:

1. Definition of a trap game (UrbanDictionary): A trap game is a game played against an opponent generally deemed to be easy to defeat. As a result a person or team may not prepare as thoroughly as they would for a formidable opponent. Often this attitude and its attendant lack of preparation lead to a loss.

2. While we should definitely beat UCF on paper, we could definitely lose if we come out flat, or if we play slow and Tacko creates a bad match up.

Based on the definition of a trap game and my analysis of the match up, this could certainly be seen as a trap game. Considering that several other posters have expressed concern about needing to move quickly to counter Tacko, I don't think point #2 is unreasonable.

Good points. I was looking at the aspect of it where it usually sits between two big games, and you're looking ahead, figuring you have them beat. In this case, UCF is WAY BETTER than the two it falls between.

I sorta expect to drop this one for some reason. Maybe its because Gary looks really uncomfortableplaying against Tacko. Run him to death tomorrow.

12. Cincinnati
15. North Carolina

Tar Heel fans are not insufferable but I just love the fact that my Cats are ranked higher living here in my home state. I can stick my chest out (a bit farther than my stomach) proudly for this week anyway.

Yeah, definitely. I agree there on where the game falls.

Push the ball leaving little or no time for Taco to setup. He only can play 5 minutes at a time.

No Troy/Mick ball.

Time to crack Tacko's shell. Even IF Taylor would show he's not going to be in full season playing shape. Cats have a "calm" confidence thing going right now. I've got a good feelin' about this.

Plain Dealer has a college basketball vote? WTH?? Why doesn't Oxford Journal News have a vote? PD has no gravitas in College Basketball...or anything come to think of it...
