Kevin Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Big game here. Miami is playing A LOT better. They have beaten NIU/CMU/BG in the last 5 and come in 3-2. They are 0-8 on the road in MAC play and UB is 4-4 at home. If UB drops this, they are in dire shape and most likely are looking at a 5 or 6 seed. They would not be able to get the 1-3 seeds. 1 and 2 are already out. If they win, they should have the top 5 locked up. They need NIU to lose to Toledo, and Kent to lose to BG, and hopefully a BSU loss to CMU (they lost there on the road, but CMU has lost 8 straight).

squire17 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 It is possible that the Bulls will have to play Miami a third time here on March 9. Normally a dangerous proposition, I think it’s safe to say the Bulls would win for the sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Forget about rooting interest in other games and hoping this team beats that team or that team beats this team, UB needs to win. Period. Bc let’s be honest...we will most likely lose at BG. Unless I see things cleaned up my confidence in this team is low. No one can tell me with certainty that we will even beat Miami. Frustration rant aside we need to find ourselves and quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustration rant aside we need to find ourselves and quickly. One of the keys in this game will be the play of Mballa who in the last two games that we lost played only 26 and 20 minutes due to foul trouble. He fouled out of both games and had only seven rebounds in each game. We were out rebounded in both games!!! Miami is not a crazy big team but with their zone defense they present rebounding problems. Can we see a consistent 40 minute game?? Would be great to see 5,000+ for a nice send off of our seniors. Go Bulls!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Looking forward to this game. They have to come out with a lot of intensity and keep it up for the whole game. No lapses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Senior day, hope Jordan gets as much support from the crowd as he deserves. The kid was integral to the success of the previous 2 years This is a huge game and a must win. We need a bye into Cleveland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DooleyBull06 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It was just said that if we end in a 3 way tie with Ball St and NIU we would lose the tiebreaker. Ball St as of now is cruising so this will most likely come down to Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Graves needs to start scoring for this team to win in the tournament. They aren't always going to play the last ranked MAC school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) An awful final minute cuts the lead to 6. They have a real problem ending and starting halves 17-9 Miami run to finish the final 7 after UB went up 28-14.

Poor close to the half. We got complacent and left points at the free throw line. It’s crazy that seeding 1-12 is going to come down to the final game. Nothing as of now is settled. Which reiterates that there is no clear cut favorite in this conference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire17 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The 10 - 8 path to a 3 way tie: 1. Buffalo beats Miami and loses to Akron or Buffalo loses to Miami and beats Akron 2. N Illinois loses to Toledo and Ball St 3. Ball St loses to C Michigan and beats N Illinois The 10 - 8 three way tie scenario seems very unlikely. The 11 - 7 path to a 3 way tie: 1. Buffalo beats Miami and Akron. 2. Ball St beats C Michigan and N Illinois. 3. N Illinois beats Toledo and loses to Ball St. The 11 - 7 three way tie scenario seems even less likely than the 10 - 8 path. Most likely: Buffalo backs into the 4th place bye by beating Miami and losing to Akron. Ball State beats C Michigan and loses to N Illinois. They both end up at 10 - 8. N Illinois either ends up at 12 - 6 0r 11 - 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent up 8 on BG right now plays a role in all of this if they can also beat Akron to go to 10-8 Most likely situation by far is to get the 5.
