Jeseph Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 UW-M got close midway through the second half this morning but UB stepped on the gas for another convincing win. Great to see Harris finding his rhythm and Perkins stepped up for a big game. UB will get a bit more rest than San Francisco but they're a solid team. Let's come out firing and bring home a trophy 🤘🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasketBull Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Glad to be facing San Francisco tomorrow. A win on a neutral court would look good on a resume and even a loss could be forgiven on selection Sunday if we win the rest of the non conference slate and split Marquette/Syracuse. The Dons looked pretty good in taking down SFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsFan14 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 San Francisco went on a late run against SFA to seal it. It seems they play a similar game to us with uptempo guard play. This game scares me a little bit. SFU plays some Top 25 teams multiple times in a year. Our ranking shouldn't phase them. I think it will come down to our guard play vs there guard play. SFA tried putting pressure on the guards but it backfired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareub46 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yea this is a huge matchup. Two undefeateds. We gotta minimize the lulls in the game. Play like we all know UB can and we are going to have a great resume builder against another good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerekRx Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Definitely going to be a great test. Honestly could be the best team we have played this year tomorrow but if you're going to "win" one of these tournaments you have to play a good team. I love this test. Win this a very tough game against a solid 7-0 team on neutral court makes our rank even stronger. Loss would most likely knock our ranking number off (oh well not end of the world). But it would fun to see them destroy Lemoyne Wednesday night ranked in the teens :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonSolo96 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Dons fan here, just checking in. I expect this to be a great game as well. Love to have a crack at at Top-25 program like yours to gauge just where we really are right now. USF biggest strengths so far have been defense and team rebounding. They are a very well-coached team that tends to minimize mistakes, especially at the PG position, where Frankie Ferrari has a very high assist-to-turnover ratio. They are a tough group to rattle, that's for sure. A quick rundown of the starters: Frankie Ferrari (PG) - As mentioned, doesn't make a lot of mistakes (9 assist, 2 turnovers in today's win). Will drop at least one assist a game that makes you go "ooooohh" Charles Minlend (SG) - Probably the most talented overall player on the team. Can be streaky. Has a great nose for finding ways to score. You will look at the box score at the end of a game and think, "where did those points come from." Jordan Ratinho (SG) - Fantastic three-point shooter. Usually guards the other team's best perimeter guy. A real lunchbox kind of player Nate Renfro (F) - An incredible dunker. Likes to shoot threes too, although he doesn't shoot a high percentage. Great defender/rebounder. Insanely athletic. Terrible FT shooter Jimbo Lull (C) - Slow as hell, but has improved his game considerably this season, causing teams a lot of problems in the paint. Splits minutes in the post with Matt McCarthy, who is a wily veteran that has a lot of moves around the basket. Good luck tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 San Francisco really hasn't played anyone in those 7 games, except maybe Harvard, remotely worth gushing about. They do have very good guard play it appears, but, can they keep up with the tempo we play at for 40 minutes? Have their guards really been tested at all this season? I just see our batch of guards being too much for them. It could be a close game at some points, but we should be taking the W here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that UB goes so deep on their bench for meaningful minutes...and plays with so much pace...can be the deciding factor. A good test, no doubt.

DooleyBull06 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 This game is all of a sudden huge. Glad we get to play San Francisco. Based on the excellent scouting report previously stated this could be a high octane game. Hope CJ is ok but this is no doubt a test and would be a great resume booster.

Kevin Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Man, this is a tough one. However, we need to add these type of games to the schedule, UB had to hope it would land San Francisco once the teams came out. Playing Albany/Brooklyn does nothing for this team. A bjg neutral court won against this team would go a long way for the resume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Big game! I was looking into these USF Dons box scores, stats, usage, mins etc, and I am feeling pretty confident going into this one. Which makes me incredibly nervous after last night. ill start with what concerns me, UB played maybe their worst game of the season yesterday. I know the first 10 minutes were god awful and that skews some things, and maybe we were just getting our legs and used to the court, we will see. USF played one of their better games of the year vs SFA. And SFA is better than UWM so maybe they got the better warmup game. anyway, what I saw. Very good guard play, but no guard depth. Point guard looks very good but plays pretty much all game. They start 3guards and only one comes off the bench that plays any significant minutes. 2nd game in a row should play right into UB’s hands. Mr Ferrari, meet Mr Jordan and Mr Caruthers, they will be happy to escort you around they court. Try to keep up. their renfro kid kinda sucks. Like shouldn’t be starting for a good d1 program kinda sucks. Stats say he should be playing Bertram type minutes, yet he is on the court most game. He seems to have some good shot blocking and rebounding skills, but every time down the court he shoots is a win for UB. they will have a slight advantage inside with their 7fter Lull but our pace may take him out of the game. No way he gets up and down the floor with a McCrea, or even Perkins. If we push the ball when Lull is in, their defense will be switching before the shot clock even resets. Should create some open looks. One last thing that kind of jumped out at me, USF doesn’t get to the FT line very often but also doesn’t put their opponent there much either. Game should be won with the game clock ticking, which I like. Just got to shoot decent and I predict a UB win, 79-69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB85 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Big big game! For comparison purposes Stephen Austin 66 Milwaukee 51. Of you compare scores we should be the underdog. Fortunate that isn’t how it works. Go Bulls! Let’s make it 7-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 22-18 UB U7 in the first half. Refs crushing this game. Calling anything possible on UB. 8-3 fouls against UB. CJ and Harris both have 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
