Women's team

The women completed a comprehensive win over Western yesterday, thanks in large part to a 19-0 run in the 1st quarter. Another huge, and efficient, game from Fair. As long as she doesn't get to a point where she starts to forcing shots, she is unstoppable in this conference. 

The addition of Young should go a long way to ensure Fair does not feel the need to force things. Young brings another ball handling scorer and veteran presence. The foursome of Fair, Young, McEvans and Hall will go along way to make this team a true MAC contender.

The play in the post has been improving, particularly on the rebounding side. Walters has been providing some tough minutes down low while Christie and Adeyeye have done well to alter shots with their length. Add in Gaba who has the ability to score in bunches at times and there is some solid depth. Hopefully Summer can return in the new year and at least provide 15-20 minutes per game. We all know the difference maker she can be when healthy but even just entering the rotation of forwards with the other four should prove very valuable.

I would foresee the team settling into an eight player rotation (nine when Summer is playing) with Schiffer getting some minutes when an offensive spark may be needed.

IMO, the team does have the potential to win the MAC...besides Central and Ohio, Kent is off to a very strong start along with Toledo. There seems to only be a few "weaker" teams in the conference so many games will be battles. Here is hoping to continued success and a full MAC season played.

It was interesting to see Presley Hudson as Western's Director of Basketball Operations and Director of Player Development.  I got a chance to talk with her for a few minutes.  She was very nice.  On the floor I always thought she seemed like a little brat.

Not on TV.  She appeared to be very intense just like Stephanie Reid against her.  One of my rivalries on the court to watch.  Two players who love the game and went at each other hard and with what appeared to be mutual respect for each other.

Really interesting how Coach Jack rotates her bigs with Summer out. One game Adeyeye gets the majority of the minutes then another game Walters gets more minutes with Christie and Gaba getting minutes. All four of them seem to be really able to give strong down low play especially on the rebounding side. It bodes well to have more than one player that can have double digit rebounding games. With Young and McEvans showing strong athletic quickness and ability along with Fair and Hall this should be a very interesting year and too bad we can not see this team in person. Go Bulls!!

I believe Adeyeye had very limited minutes yesterday due to the shoulder issue she suffered against Bona. I assume she will get 20-25 minutes when healthy.

CMU edges Ohio today, and KSU beat EMU. So UB stays tied with both at 3-0 after today's win at Miami. We were out-rebounded but hit 18-20 from the line.

Another good game with good balance across the board. Good play from Fair, Hall, McEvans and Young. Really nice overall rotation with all the bigs who all can contribute in different ways between their strength down low rebounding and scoring. Will really miss seeing this team in person who has shown not only individual growth but good team unity. Still wondering what we could achieve if Summer was healthy?? Go Bulls!!!

A solid road win...never easy to win away from home in the MAC. Fair again was awesome and efficient. Christie had a strong open to the game and Walters was very efficient in limited minutes due to foul trouble. Even without Summer, the 4 player post rotation is proving very valuable. Another road game this week at Eastern before a huge matchup with Central at home.

Looking forward to Saturday.  Both Buffalo and CMU have already played (beaten) Akron, Miami and Western.  Five of these games have been victories at home, while UB also won on the road at Miami.  

It's a shame it's up against the Bills playoff game. But I'll be able to watch it on ESPN+ after along with the men's first game since making Jim Boeheim sad.

After a tough loss to Central, the women bounced back with a hard fought win over a young but strong BG team. Fair was once again incredible with 36 points on nearly 50% shooting with 7 rebounds and 6 assists while not coming off the floor until the final few seconds. Hall had by far her best game in quite a while with 17...hopefully she can find her shooting touch more consistently. McEvans was solid while Adeyeye and Walters were again big on the boards.

After beating UB, Central proceeded to get blown out by NIU while Ohio lost to Ball in OT...UB's next two opponents are Ball and Ohio.
