A win is a win, especially on the road. For years, all teams in the league struggled to win games on the road. The goal always was to win your home games and pick up a few on the road, which would lead to a 11-13 win league season, which puts them in the top 4. I'd gladly take that formula this year and it should be something that we're all hoping for.

So this is going to be one of those years where nobody gives the coaching staff credit after a road win, but will be the first to come back on here after every loss?

I couldn't help but notice Gallion and Skogman with Giambattista high fiving, hyping the team down the stretch. Love to see it from the freshmen.

What bench? Some guys on the bench look so disinterested while they are there. Then there are guys who are non-stop being positive for their guys. A few of our players need to be shown the door, nothing but ME guys, not at all out for the team. The only way this team will win this season (and any season) is to play team basketball. This starts on defense and travels to the offense. It showed when they played together. When they did, they wrecked the Miami offense, transitioning right into easy baskets. When even a single ME guy was on the floor, it was instant Miami baskets, all game long. It's taken me a few games, but I really was tuning into this today, and it was so evident. Last year, this was a team (yes, a senior-laden, star powered team, but regardless, they were ALL there for each other). This year, there are some who need to start buying into this, or else they need to go away, or be glued to the chairs on the sidelines. I'd rather play Giambattista or Gallion before a couple of these guys right now. I can't believe I'm saying that, but that's truly how I feel about some of the chemistry-breakers right now. If somehow, some way these guys would buy in to a ROLE and not into how much time/stats they have, this UB squad would be much better off. If not, the team will be severely hampered with a limited bench or great runs for their opponents while they are on the floor.
