For having just lost a game, Johnny Dawkins sounds like a heck of a coach. Wonder why he didn't do more at Stanford.

I've wondered the same thing. He made one post season appearance during his 8 seasons at Stanford - getting to the NCAA S16 in 2014. No P12 conference accolades. He played at Duke so it would seem he could recruit/navigate Stanford's academic inclinations. I admit I'm not familiar with his tenure there beyond the numbers but sometimes it just doesn't work out the way you hoped. I'm glad he's in our conference because he seems like just a solid guy and a good coach.

I thought that was a pretty unimaginative team on both ends of the floor last night. Other than pulling the big guy every 2 minutes they didn't do much from the bench.

Not sure what "unimaginative" is. Lord knows Mick has been accused of offensive limitations over the years. UCF hasn't exactly been a hotbed of success historically. Dawkins first year (last year) got UCF in the NIT and they played pretty well. This year, and subsequent years the jury is still out.

They ran the same thing over and over and never changed a thing. On both ends.

They rely too much on the “throw it up to Tako” offense and besides being extremely tall the kid just isn’t that good. It’s like a circus act they keep running out there at the expense of developing the other players.

Tako stands and literally doesn’t move his feet. If you can actively deny the entry pass within the 1st 5 seconds he stops and just stands still...actually helps defend the lane by clogging it up. It’s like a 8 foot concrete statue poured in place.

The 7’2” guy from Purdue...now that is a ball player with some skills.

UCF will be better when they stop leaning on Tacko. He's not a dynamic player and can only be on the court for half a game. Hardly someone you need to pin your hopes on.
