BrazenBull Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I find myself getting impatient each day, waiting for our next game. Can't wait for March, but have to sit back and enjoy the ride. Here's hoping we drop another C-note on them. 106 - 68 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to see our exposure nationally, as well as our stock rising overall. Go Bulls!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB92 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Any update on Perkins? I recall it said he had a G1 sprain. This will be a good opportunity for Fagan and/or Williams (or even Bertram) for more minutes if Perkins misses time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'm sold on Bertram. I know he had a few good points last game, but the dude is S L O W... like his movements are way too sluggish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I agree with what everyone has said so far. One thing worries me about this game...Western has a 7 footer who has had some big games. If Perkins doesn’t play that will be a tough cover. As said Bertram is slow, McRae is foul prone. So it will be interesting to see this unfold. That said despite going on the road we should win. Go Bulls!

mikescherrer8 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 https://buffalonews.com/2019/01/12/buffalo-mens-basketball-miami-ohio-mac/ "Oats said Perkins won’t practice Sunday, but he expects Perkins to play Tuesday at Western Michigan."

ubmae86 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 That was such A HUGE win for us. I was so happy to see Syracuse close the door. Honestly though, without Tre getting knocked out, Syracuse is like a lamb to the slaughter. I hope he recovers okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire17 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yup. Never want to see anyone hurt. And as good as Williamson is, Jones is probably their MVP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareub46 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yea two notable absences for duke for most of the game but hey I’ll take it. Sounds like good news for perk but I’d still err on the side of caution and limit his minutes tonight. If McRae and Bertram can hold down the fort let perk rest up as much as possible. If we need him, that’s fine as long as he’s truly ok to play but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) According to team sources, they could be cautious with Perkins based on warmups tonight. Edited January 15, 2019 by Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely seems like the right move. We'll need him later in MAC play and should really not struggle to beat WMU (mostly) without him.

UB92 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The line is like 16 or 17. Sure...WMU can win. Anyone has a chance. Without an effective Perkins, that chance increases. But, as we've said all year, UB has so many ways to beat you that they have some margin for error if someone (or two) has a bad night. UB may lose in the MAC (more likely on the road), but I really don't see that being the case in Kalamazoo. However...the students are back for WMU and this is the highest ranked team they have ever hosted in that arena. We will very, very likely see WMU's best on display tonight. It was a close game against EMU for much of the first half, so I expect more of that...and I expect this to be closer than the line. Every game, especially on the road, we are very likely to get a great effort from the other side (and an interested fan base to see a ranked team). It is how we deal with it that will decide what options are available to the team at the end of the regular season. In reading the comments from the WMU coach, I expect them to foul regularly to slow down the Bulls (and, I think, hold their possessions...kind of like EMU did). Expect a slower, sloppier game. Go Bulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC teams don't have the depth to do this effectively IMO. As long as we don't get frustrated and just keep playing our game it's simply not a sustainable strategy against our lineup.

Doesn't WMU only have 8 guys essentially that get playing time. Just maintain Holiday and keep a high tempo and this is ours. 9 minutes ago, UB92 said: However...the students are back for WMU and this is the highest ranked team they have ever hosted in that arena.

I can see a ton of students coming out bringing their A game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
