Penny Hardaway encouraged his team, pushing them toward a quadrant-one (net rating/NCAA) win that could propel them into the at-large discussion. Memphis fell seven points short of their goal Saturday night in Orlando. Final: UCF 79 Memphis 72

Here's what 92.9's On-Air Team Tweeted about the game:

At the half....

Memphis fortunate to be trailing UCF just 7 considering how poorly it played first half. Got a frosh (Jones) trying a lob over a skyscraper - getting Kyvon decapitated - and senior (Thornton) trying no-look bounce pass in transition down 7. Undisciplined decision making on road.

Down the stretch...
