I agree with much that you say. Agreed that a small school like St Bona has fewer resources from a financial standpoint than UB. And Bona utilizes it’s resources quite differently than UB regarding which sports teams it fields. But it must be pointed out that as of 2018, Schmidt’s salary was $831000+. Compare that with what Oats was offered and with Whitesell’s salary.

By your logic, you are also saying that Iona is just as good. It has gone to the NCAA in 4 consecutive years.

Our Bulls have only been better than Bonas in the very short term. I am not sure you could say any UB alumni exist where the Bulls were better all four years they were on campus. We only have a two year win streak and many of our NCAa bids we were not ranked highly and wouldn’t have even made the NIT if we didn’t win the conference tournament. But the future looks like winning is going to be the norm and we are beholding a foundation. They still have more fans and a better conference but on the court we are now becoming peers. maybe someday Bonas will talk about “Selling out the [new Aud] for UB games”.

Sorry, but it absolutely does not “go without saying” that UB men have been better than Bona’s the last 5 years. 2015- UB wins The one bid MAC. Bona finishes 7th in a 4 bid A10, which also had 2 NIT teams. Bona beats UB in their matchup. Nothing suggests UB is “better”, they simply win a far lesser league. Consensus: Bona 2016- Bona wins the A10 regular season in a 3 way tie with VCU and Dayton, and gets absolutely screwed in the selection process, a consensus all time snub. The A10 sends 3 teams to the dance and 3 more to the NIT. UB as a 4 seed has a Cinderella run to the Mac title. Bona beats UB in their matchup. That’s not UB being better, that’s UB winning an again inferior conference tournament . Consensus; Bona 2017- Bona beats UB handily, neither team really comes close to an ncaa berth. A10 sends 3 teams, MAC one. Consensus: Bona clearly the better team 2018 - Bona beats UB by 8 on the road with a one legged Jaylen Adams, Ub is missing Wes Clark. Call that a wash. Bona gets screwed into a play in game, but beats the PAC 12 UCLA anyway. UB, beats Arizona (a team who lost at home to UCLA less than a month earlier). Call that a wash. Both teams after beating PAC 12 teams get throttled by a team from the SEC (Florida and Kentucky respectively. Call that a wash. Consensus: a wash. 2019: Ub throttles Bona, clearly a better team. Makes the dance. Even when Bona was healthy and got to the A10 finals, UB clearly the better teAm. They have a strong showing in the dance with the PAC 12 win. Consensus: UB 2020: UB wins. All computer numbers and the game itself suggest a return Match at Bona’s could go in Bona’s favor. Consensus: even, slight edge to UB. Notice bona got screwed 2 times, meanwhile UB of their 4 tourney appearances only had one that was even remotely at large worthy. UB has had great success the last 5 years. It’s flatly ignorant to claim it as unmistakably better than Bona’s, however.

HAHA yeah as annoying as they were (starting by toasting the American flag during the national anthem), we didn't respond, and it was satisfying at the end for them to have to digest the loss. UB probably got $100 or more in beer sales off that bunch.

in all my years of going to basketball games, I can’t recall someone being kicked out. I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy is lying or that he instigated an altercation between him and a UB fan. Either way. Go Bulls!

I saw this, and wanted to leave it alone, but now that it's here... Find me one place where Bonaventure is ranked higher or more selective than UB. One. It's okay to admit that you paid more for a less prestigious degree. How many people have we put in space? How many Nobel Laureates have we had teach here? How many Fortune 500 CEOs are part of our alumni base?

Alex McNaulty. 24 straight extra points. That’s probably not a UB record, but it seems like it should be!
