Misterbluesky Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 NI has the better outside game but we should be ok in the paint.We have to get hot from three point land soon,that's a no brainer....this one should be high scoring.

Just a terrible defensive breakdown at the end I'll agree with Misterbluesky here...I only watched about five minutes of action but I was disgusted with the undisciplined, heave-it-up-regardless-of-the-defense brand of basketball UB was playing. They certainly deserved to lose -- maybe it will be the proverbial "wake up call." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Two things: 1.) UB needs to understand they are going to get everybody's BEST game and need to respond accordingly. 2.) UB's inbound plays from the offensive end line suck. Badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Still a much needed win. FYI here's the home ticket situation if you are planning to go to Alumni. Get yours soon before they're gone. I'm going to predict that Kent State win keeps them in the Top 20 come Monday.

They could have buried them for one loss. I think Buffalo is becoming the media darlings of the season. A lot of people are singing their praises, so they are going to cut them some slack. Besides it was a buzzer beater on the road, not a blowout at home. Edited January 29, 2019 by PromoTheRobot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if they ever get a game or two at KBC. Would be awesome to see a true rebirth of college Bball in Buffalo. Man, when I think of all the greats I went to see when I was a kid. And most of them played pick up games at the Delaware courts, too! An added bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to play one or two there, especially if they can get a name opponent and play it when students are on break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 This Friday's game against BGSU (1st place in the MAC East, UB is 2nd right now) will be the 9th nationally televised UB Bulls game this year, with at least two more scheduled.

PromoTheRobot Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 I got home a little late but DVR'ed the game. But the recording stopped with 5 minutes to play! I saw the final. I have to say it was an incredible game (what I saw anyway.) I don't have a problem with UB's effort in that one. Hats off to BGSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely happens, the committee loves creating storylines. ASU better get going or the only tournament they will be going to is the NIT. PAC 10 is a 1 bid league right now & that bid is going to Udub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
