Live Stream of the Game:
Coogs fell behind early, but made a valiant comeback to take the lead at one point. Were down one with less than a minute to go when they forced a shot-clock violation. However, the refs didn’t call it and UCF hit a three. On review, no camera angle showed the clock or the backboard and the three point shot was upheld. Down 4, Coogs couldn’t come back again.
Tough way to lose a game, but it’s still nice to see the fight against a good team. Hopefully, they can go and beat Cincy to end the season on a decent note.
