UB > Kansas and Duke. Confirmed.

Both of these are huge problems, and I can't even figure out which one is worse. I'd prefer that we just had the normal soundboard music (Kernkraft 400, Hands Up in the Air, hell even Eye of the Tiger would be better) than the chill music. It just destroys any sort of energy we had going into the time out. This is not a club, this is not a frat party, this is not a rave.

Barring a complete collapse we are playing for a high seed. With every win I get more amazed.

WVU Coliseum is not an easy place for a road team to win

Not pleasing everyone is one thing - playing some sort of slow jam R&B at every break is another. He's got an amazing talent for sucking all of the air out of the building after a UB run as the crowd gets on their feet and goes nuts by playing some slow low energy song. Crowd sits down. Arena gets quiet. He watches the video board and repeats the same three catch phrases. Rinse and repeat. It's the most effective application of a momentum breaking timeout I've seen in college basketball. Hoping this gets better when the students and pep band return, but that DJ table needs to be disassembled yesterday and control of break music turned back over to UB production.

This has been said by many different programs. As much as I like all the UB bids, the school has never been an atlarge program until this year Until the program reloads, I would not draw any comparison to Gonzaga.

I think we can say we are where Gonzaga was in the 90's. But we don't know if we will convert that success into sustained and profitable success the way Gonzaga has.

The Mountaineers beat Kansas today. That’s another feather in Buffalo’s cap.

Loved it and couldn't believe it. When she launched the ball, I figured it was going to go over everyone's head and go out of bounds and WMU would get the ball and score. Boy was I wrong!

Don't tempt ESPN MAC salaries, most from last year (base salary, total comp - Ohio coaches): Keith Dambrot, Akron - $932,071 John Groce, Akron - $650,000** Saul Phillips, Ohio - $623,329 Nate Oats, Buffalo - $600,000 Rob Senderoff, Kent State - $497,661 Tod Kowalczyk, Toledo - $487,201 Michael Huger, Bowling Green - $449,078 Steve Hawkins, WMU - $385,000 John Cooper, Miami - $358,622 Mark Montgomery, NIU - $316,140 Keno Davis, CMU - $300,000 James Whitford, Ball State - $286,083 Rob Murphy, EMU - $235,000 **Groce makes $350k from Akron $300k from Illinois, but his salary jumps when UI stops paying him

"Yeah, yeah, they lit", "They killin it", "He's flossin"...in addition to taking up about 30-40 seats worth of space from the bleachers.

Every time it seemed this game was going to blow open and stay so, Eastern found a way to keep it interesting. Tonight was all about big play from the leaders, CJ and Perkins. I thought the Bulls did a great job rebounding - keeping balls alive on offense for second and third chances, getting position underneath. They did well keeping the ball moving in and around that zone. Eastern had a couple big guys but they dealt with it. I was bothered by the turnovers tonight and the way they got sloppy and let Eastern back into it in the second half, but yet another double digit conference win. CJ - on fire from the field, pesky and tough on defense, and he was vocally prodding guys to be better out there Perkins - had his touch tonight and wasn't afraid to go at taller guys inside Graves - a couple big threes in the second half and some nice passes Jordan - drew a charge, it seems like he's gone a few games without doing so. Dontay - a couple sparky defensive plays, one down the stretch where he got the rebound underneath next to Thompson Eastern - Thompson, who seems to have been there for 7 years, every time he lost the ball he looked towards a ref for a call. He doesn't play as tough as he probably can. Toure was playing with 4 fouls down the stretch and he became a turnstile on defense. Eastern, you are truly Air-ball U. I can't recall a game (in the D-1 days at least) where I saw this many air-balls. It was truly a sight to behold. Even one on a foul shot! Crowd - I can't say this seriously enough. I cannot wait until the students and the band are back. We need more noise on defense. The DJ's are killing it, and not in a good way. Every time the team starts to get some momentum and the opponent calls for time, they put on some chill (or sometimes even morose) R&B that totally kills the energy in the building. You guys are supposed to be helping the team. Please play something that gets the crowd energized rather than something that seems cool.

Toure with his 4th foul. Ya, Ya

gotta crawl, walk, then run

The love UB is receiving...priceless. Just keep winning.
