I can’t really bad mouth them... they are playing their hearts out and I do love UB athletics and SU basketball as much as the Bills too. I have grown up with all... I hate when they lose You guys will be fine with Beilein.. he understands guards win in March like Boeheim... you mentioned Morris , Burke and Walton... having very good PGs consistently can make you spoiled SU has gone through Gerry McNamara, Jonny Flynn, Michael carter Williams and Tyler Ennis.. with a bunch of other good ones it spoils you UB had an AMAZING season, but unfortunately Oates is moving on. They sure as all h*** seem to be hitting on coaches so hopefully they make the right call once again. I guess you could say Syracuse underachieved by their standards, but it wasn't a disastrous season. UM wasn't as good as their start indicated, so a sweet 16 loss shouldn't be considered a "failure." And looking at SU's list, Boeheim most certainly understands the value of a PG. Both programs definitely spoiled in that regard. The reality is that there's going to be disappointment for all but one team every single year. Beilein isn't getting any younger and I'd love to see him get a title before he's done. Boeheim has been there and done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Beilein wants that title, every team needs a little luck along the way but he also needs to get wings that can create Tyus Battle was a original UM recruit... keep him on that roster and you guys are still balling and a legitimate title contender.. he can also play PG in a pinch Edited March 29, 2019 by Buffalo716 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagner went to the NBA too early IMO. We(UM) always seem to have premature NBA attrition which is weird because JB never lands top recruits. I attribute that to his coaching. Jordan Poole and the white guy with the funny hair could both leave early. Imagine that! I remember losing out on Battle as well. Tremendous player. Coulda woulda shoulda. It is what it is.

Losing players early SUCKS but it means you got a good coach. many recruits leave SU too early as well... but... like the old saying... strike while the iron is hot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy KGB Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Why did they make the VT kid pass a drug test to prove he didn’t smoke marijuana ? Tough test for old steady Luke Maye and the Heels tonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 It's gonna be really interesting to see if Gonzaga can find a way to beat that Beard/Tech no middle defense. I'm going with Tech. Much more interested in that game than UVA/Purdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death at 100+, taxes in the highest bracket (after all possible deductions), and losing in the Elite 8. Life could be worse. Not actually a Zags fan (and always curious how they manage to retain Mark Few), but life could be worse. ? Refs need to be more invisible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 UB can hold their heads a little higher with every Texas Tech win. To hold the highest scoring team in the country to 32 second half points is damned impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
