  1. Watson drops 27 points against Ohio to bring her season total to 476. 10 games left in the regular season, on pace for 727 (10 games), 752 (11 games, go to Cleveland), 777 (12 games, win a Game in Cleveland), 802 (13 games, Make the Finals), 827 (14 games, Win the Finals).
  2. Shot 72% in the third, scoring 32. Held Ohio to 8%, scoring 11. We'd still be up by a point if UB didn't score a single point the last 7:30 of that quarter (UB scored 24 points in the last 7:30)
  3. What a third quarter. Watson up to 19, and great contributions so far from Hattie and KLW.
  4. Hattie back in the starting lineup, but Bulls are off to a slow start.
  5. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/01/31/college-football-coaching-hires-grades/72411189007/ 6. Pete Lembo, Buffalo Lembo has won at every one of his stops across multiple levels of competition. Most importantly, he went 33-29 in five seasons at Ball State, another MAC program with limited resources that demands careful talent evaluation and player development to make ends meet. Since leaving the Cardinals after the 2015 season, Lembo has worked as an assistant at Maryland, Rice, Memphis and South Carolina. He's one of the top Group of Five hires of the cycle.
  6. No, don't you see in order to make great hires you need to find a group of coaches that you've never worked with before. It worked out great with our last regime! Mo found a bunch of coordinators that stuck around just long enough to get the long term AirBNB discount. Leipold stuck by his guys for better or worse and it worked out for him a hell of a lot better. It's not the only way to do business, but just because Lembo worked with somebody a decade ago doesn't make them unqualified. The guy hasn't even coached a game for us (well those of us here that are fans) and already its started.
  7. About as bold as saying they’re gonna hire a S&C coach for an open position and magically a S&C coach is hired!
  8. I’m gonna make a bold prediction. Now that Pete has his staff mostly in place, he’s going to start hitting the road and getting offers out to high school juniors.
  9. Watson put up an absurd 47 points yesterday against a very good Toledo team. She's also scored above her current average of 24.9 in 8 of the last 9 games. Things to consider: She currently has 449 points, and as stated above is averaging 24.9 per game There's 11 games left in the regular season Two of those games are against top MAC teams (though she has scored 28 and 31 against them already this year) 12 games would imply the ladies make it to Cleveland, making the finals would give a total of 14 games. Double teaming Watson appears to be ineffective, perhaps a team will attempt to triple team her Predicting the number of games is hard especially with the number of top teams in the conference. A 4 or 5 seed will be much better than a 6 seed, which will likely face either Kent State, Toledo, or Ball State. I'll play it safe and say 13 games (losing in the semifinals), and bumping up her average a little bit because she's a baller and been on a tear, putting her right below Fair's 796. Breaking CD's record is going to involve 14 games and 29.1 points per game in those games.
  10. 40 points for Watson. Will probably break Dillard's record of 43.
  11. Watson tied for 16th most points in a game for UB (34) and there's still 10 minutes of basketball left.
  12. Shotclock went off, we're only down 3. We're battling back against one of the top teams in the MAC.
  13. Lembo contract out per TBN: $500k base $225k additional comp - this matches the $725k he made at USC (east) $15k for 8 wins $20k for 9 wins $25k for 10 wins $30k for 11 wins $35k for 12 wins $15k detroit $35k championship $25k bowl game $60k bowl win ------ Lembo leaves, owes UB: $1.5m before Dec 10, 2024 $1m before Dec 10, 2025 $750k before Dec 10, 2026 $500k before Dec 10, 2027 $250k before Dec 1, 2028 ------ We fire Lembo, we owe $500k for each year left on the contract
  14. The DL hire has inspired a "Fucking Pete" thread on the Ball State board. Maybe a bit of a rivalry while Lembo is here? Maybe I'll have to try the Olive Garden in Muncie, as Lembo highlighted that in the press conference I posted earlier in the thread. Looks to be the highest rated of the three Italian restaurants in Muncie. Edit: Actually it appears that there's only two Italian restaurants in Muncie, as one is either an Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday's pretending to be an Italian restaurant on google. And this is of course counting Olive Garden as Italian.....
  15. This looks to be an excellent hire. Ball State was 14th in the nation in rushing yards per game allowed. And I like the idea of hiring a coach from the conference for the exact same job here.
  16. After the game Burke said that we have the best freshman in the conference. I think I agree! 🤘
  17. Reporters are not invited to donor events, and even if this does happen it’s nothing compared to what the local media does to the Buffalo Bills. They write hard-hitting articles on behalf of Terry and Kim Pegula such as: ”Rochester-area couple names new baby after Josh Allen” ”Young Bills Fan Breaks Down in Tears When Meeting Josh Allen” ”Shop puts up Bills flower display at Genesee and Ellicott” I wonder what other factors there were? Take a look at Mo’s resume with some critical thinking skills. Other schools around this time of year filled their vacancies in 2-3 days, so 5 is not unreasonable.
  18. So you're saying UB allowed a non-employee to hire an offensive coordinator? Or that he knew Saban was retiring last month? Agreed, I'm tired of seeing tweets about empty seats for women's basketball games and pictures of men's basketball games 30 minutes before tip. If she has an anti-UB agenda it's really starting to show. Scott Wilson is not a UB employee
  19. So what's in the ... that you cut off? Mo talked to Bama, Mo then talks to Alnutt, Byrne called Alnutt and said he thinks it will happen, reports surface that Mo is set to go to Bama, Alnutt calls Mo asking him if it's true after Mo didn't keep him posted. There's nothing contradictory there.
  20. Lembo calls Fort Wayne a cultural "hub" to the likes of Vienna or Istanbul compared to Muncie. He's a big fan of the oyster bar there.
  21. Just looking at the USC (east) reaction to this it would be a home run hire. Seems like he’s really liked there. But then you look at his decline at Ball State and it doesn’t look as good. I look forward to hopefully keeping quality coordinators for more then one (1) year.
  22. I thought the Leipold hire was exceptional, Leipold was great I thought the Mo hire was great, Mo was not great I think this is an awful hire. I really hope I’m proven wrong.
  23. Bill Greiner was inducted into the UB Athletics HoF and didn’t even play in a single hockey game for UB! What a sham!
  24. I don't think that's accurate. He's at every basketball game.
