Rodney Terry took issue with UCF players for their Horns Down gesture after he said 6 or 7 players made the sign, which he objected to after the game.

That came after UCF knocked off the Longhorns in Austin, 77-71. The Knights overcame a massive deficit and went on a 24-9 to finish the game.

Terry, in the post-game press conference, said, “We don’t do that because when you do those kinds of things, it looks very classless.”

Terry added that he’s a big believer in winning the right way, and losing the right way. And by doing gestures like the UCF players did, it appeared that they were just “hoping” to win.

“We never go into games trying to hope to win,” he said. “We go into games expecting to win. So we don’t act like that. We expect to win, we don’t jump up and down act like we won a national championship. We sure don’t step on anyone’s home court deal and act crazy try to show them up in any way, we don’t do that. That’s what I was angry about. I was letting those guys know, ‘We don’t do that.’ You guys won, hey we shake your hand, tip my hat to you, but we’re not going to let you act that way in our building. You’re not going to do that, you’re not going to put your Horns Down and do all that nonsense.”

For his part, UCF coach Johnny Dawkins said he did not see the gesture, but would address it with his team.
