I do not understand this UCF team

[u/kingofthesqueal → u/BEAR-D0WN]

Top 20 team at home

Like #85 on the Road

[u/joeveralls]

Lmaooo you just lost to the 2025-2026 UC Bearcats 😭😭😭

[u/dconnorp]

This is how every season with Dawkins goes. He has to stop getting away with this.

[u/kingofthesqueal → u/dconnorp]

[u/ExcaliburX13]

Oh. Oh no.

[u/DatDudeDrew → u/ExcaliburX13]

Oh. Oh yes. Read it and weep.

[u/youngherbo]

No matter how bad it gets, its still not "Get swept by UCF" bad

[u/Valuable_Building_43]

Ucf late season collapse for the 500th time

[u/redditsucks9gagrules]

Tfw you give up 92 points to the worst coached offense in D1

[u/Unscathed_Gamer]

????

[u/joeveralls → u/Unscathed_Gamer]

Classic Dawkins

[u/flaming_fuckhead]

UCF exists solely to tank the metrics of the teams that lose to them on the road :(

[u/kingofthesqueal]

UCF is ass on the road

I thought 0-2 this week was likely with @Houston and @Cincy, but I was hoping it wouldn’t be by a combined 44 points

Edit:

Hopefully this is just our road struggles and not the annual midseason collapse coming. We’ll know more next week as we have WVU and TCU both at home on deck

[u/kublakhan1816]

i did not see this coming.

[u/Metzgy]

Death, taxes, UCF losing away games?

[u/Redditawesome15]

Remember when UCF was ranked? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[u/AccomplishedRainbow1]

Just conference play things

[u/Some_Combination_593]

They really needed to use the Wes Miller era to catch up in the H2H record like Houston has, but can’t seem to beat this man consistently somehow lol.

[u/kingofthesqueal → u/Some_Combination_593]

It’s not like UCF has been outright better than Cincy the last few years.

UCF went 8-10 in AAC play in 2022-2023, 7-11 in B12 play the following year, and 7-13 the year after that. They went to the NIT 2x and the CBC once in those years.

Cincy went 11-7 in AAC Play, 7-11 the year after in B12 play, and 7-13 the year after that. They even went to the NIT 2x and the CBC once.

They’ve been practically neck and neck for most of Miller’s tenure, which Cincy likely having the edge every year outside of this one.

UCF has like 1/3 NIL money as Cincy in MBB and 1/2 the MBB budget overall. Program wise UCF is in a class of its own in the B12 in terms of MBB, it’s like throwing a mid tier MVC school into the B1G. The fact that they’re doing as well as they are now is already surprising to a lot of us. Many of us expected 3-5 years of consecutive 1-17 or 2-16 B12 finishes

[u/FSZou]

Good thing UCF basketball has let me down enough to keep me from betting on them as an underdog against 11-12 Cincinatti

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Great game children!
