Hurley is 51 years old. The farthest he’s been from Jersey City is where he is now. He’s not going anywhere. Oates just assured Bama that he’s staying put. Billy Donovan?

The Buffalo of the West just knocked off a depleted Kansas team.

I think the teammates who are majoring in accounting will set everyone straight on how to navigate that issue.

UB is bad, but I think that they have improved from the start of the season at least. This game would be a lot closer if Chatman was having an average game and Sullinger wasn’t sinking 40 footers. -
Turner Battle: The Bulls are doing a great job in the paint. Have to stay away from some of all those 3s. AMEN!
-
Chatman having a great game. I like the progress that Williamson is showing. Agree with eyjee’s comment re Fulcher. Get a W here, keep this headed in the right direction.

Turner Battle to have number honored at 2/17 home game
squire17 replied to RapidsFan's topic in Buffalo Bulls Basketball
Don’t cut salaries. But Vanna White is paid $3 million a year. The coaches and the athletes deserve at least that much, perhaps even more. But they aren’t going to get it at UB. End of invidious comparison. -

By cutting instructional staff salaries $5000 across the board, and funneling the proceeds to the Athletic department, UB paradoxically enhances its comprehensive reputation. This would initially fund $12.5 million. Successful college football and basketball programs are viewed by many teenagers as equaling personal success. Think what that money could do for the Bulls. A frenzy ensues, with more competitive students trying to get admitted. Does the local economy suffer? No. The 2500 or so professors are out a little, but it’s matched by increased earnings for athletic staff - the heart of academia. Everybody loves a winner. It’s time to join in the pursuit of a permanent win-win proposition. -

This game gives me hope that the Bulls can turn things around. -

It’s tough going into a hostile environment, but the Bulls are up. Looking at the stats, except for the boards, they should be leading by more than they are. -

Chatman was 1 for 7. He’s under 26% for the season. Lowering the number of 3s ought to start with him, and Adams should be next. -

Their coach deserves blame: you don’t let a hot dog hog the ball unless he’s money. Banks has talent, but he’s not money. Pass the ball!! -

Banks is the GOAT in this one, and I don’t mean Greatest of all Time. -

Looking for Sy to take over. -
ESPN predicts the Eagles (5-19) are the favorite (85.9%). I like the Bulls’ chances in this game. UB 82 Georgia Southern 77.

MBB vs Kent @6:30 PM CBSSN (Alumni Arena - Buffalo, NY)
squire17 replied to UB92's topic in Buffalo Bulls Basketball
If I were the AD, tapping into UB’s Fund in Athletic Supreme Court Output would be at the top of my priorities. Pay off the fired coaches. Lure the best coaches with top salaries. And to forestall bickering concerning favoritism, FIASCO wouldn’t be limited to Basketball. All teams would have access, but primarily Basketball and Football. The money is there. Tripathi knows it. Do you want to be a laughing stock or an academic powerhouse? Please, do the right thing: Put the money where it will do the most good for the University’s reputation. Cut faculty salaries across the board by $5000. Funnel the proceeds to Alnutt’s department. Watch as UB regains the glory that has eluded its grasp -
MBB vs Ball State | 1/23/24 7pm | ESPN+
squire17 replied to eyjee's topic in Buffalo Bulls Basketball
I once was involved with a basketball team that started the year badly. They were, in fact winless. Not just winless…they were getting destroyed game after game. Late in the season, they faced the top team, which was undefeated. On game day there was a problem: No referees showed up. The coaches asked for a volunteer to ref the game. I said I would help. I had no experience, and had never even played for an organized basketball team since eighth grade. Somehow, the winless team (which my third grade son played for) traded baskets with the undefeated team. As the game progressed, the complaints grew louder. By the end of the game, there was almost a riot, and I gained some respect for those who executed a thankless task. My son’s team had knocked off Goliath. The underdogs went on to win at least one more game that year before the pizza party/awards banquet. I think the Bulls can win against Eastern Michigan, but I refuse to ref that game. -
