Jpsredemption Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 He should focus on not letting his team lose to low level competition like Niagara before talking smack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents are from there and I still have family that live there. Olean is a great place to live and St. Bonaventure is a beautiful campus. Have you ever been to Buffalo and seen the vacant buildings and slums? Yikes...... Every city has it's rotten side. But then there is the rest of it....

They have a real chance to go dancing come March & should be a fringe top 25 team all year. That loss to Niagara is unexplainable, chalk it up to opening season jitters & a good night for the Eagles. They may be in play for winning their conference and getting to the Tournament, but I don't know about the "fringe top 25 team" comment. I just looked at the latest AP poll, and they are not even in the top 48 right now (top 25 are given rankings, and then there were 23 other schools in the "others receiving votes" group).

Niagara is not good this year, they are by far the worst out of the 4 local teams & should finish in the bottom half of the division this year. 2 hours ago, uticaclub said: Their star player, Jaylen Adams, was hurt Yes I know but come on they should of still handled them rather easily. 49 minutes ago, Tommy said: They may be in play for winning their conference and getting to the Tournament, but I don't know about the "fringe top 25 team" comment.

Come March their RPI should be in the 30's/low 40s. An early loss to a horrible Niagara team knocks you down a few pegs. They have a better team than Syracuse this year.

HansLanda Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Honestly, who cares? Was the comment about the Jills in bad taste a bit, sure...But everyone is just uber sensitive these days. Let's put shoe on other foot. If there was a basketball coach at, say, UMass who was a diehard Buffalonian and did something similar - what would we say? "Awesome!" "Best quote ever!" There certainly wouldn't be the outrage. I think there is hypersensitivity because it was about the Pats. Oh, and Go Bonas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarkLessWagMore Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Glad Schmitty is my team's coach. He is excellent at his job. That said, he is a typical M***hole. Edited December 7, 2017 by BarkLessWagMore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right town is not great even tho live close to town. College people are soo much better then people around to be honest. Arsenal, cheating, people using others, stealing, kidnapping, murder, whole town's gone to crap... College students are very nice people. Like chilling with them. Bonnie coach is hell of a good coach. But hated the fact said let's go Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle should be a Top 10 next summer, though. Syracuse vs. Saint Bona should be a good game. Both are very comparable from a competitive standpoint, imo.

I'm a cuse alum and while not one of his better teams it is one of his better defensive and rebounding teams and Tyus Battle is a first round pick Cuse wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will argue with you about this not being one of Syracuse's better teams. I'm not expecting the game to be a blowout or anything. I'm sure it will be close, and it's very possible Bona wins. I just don't think one can definitively say that St. Bonaventure is absolutely better than Syracuse this year. Like I said, we can agree to disagree :). Go Cuse!

I am not but my daughter is... and well I give my money to places I believe reflect my values. A western NY institution trolling another is not what I care to support.
