verandaman Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Okay, okay...who called off the discussion and didn't let me know? The women are doing a good job running Ohio; up by 21with 2 minutes left in the third quarter. Dillard with 26 so far...impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bull_trojan Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 That bounce pass Dillard just threw to get the 57th point was maybe the most impressive thing I've ever seen her do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we now have Hawaii and Florida in on the topic...anyone in New York -) I was getting lonely... Dillard is really putting on a show; and UB has a very nice 24 point lead after three...

skrabukes Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Needed this one. Let's get some butts in the seats on Saturday. Every game is big to close out the season in order to get a top 4 seed and be in any kind of position to make an NCAA push for at-large.

A great bounce back game against a very good Ohio team. What a turnaround game from the last three games. Dillard has been a tremendous player for us and her no look passes are a sight to behold. Hemphill had another double double with 18 rebounds.She has to play with that kind of intensity every game. Hope we get a good crowd for the Sat afternoon game against a very good Miami/Ohio team. Only two more games to see Dillard in person at home. Go Bulls!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rma Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Dillard over 2000 career points. Just passed Steph Reid in scoring at UB. We haven't had her here for two full seasons and she's 11th in points scored in UB history. If she keeps up her pace, she'll pass (future Dr.) Loesing, and Coach Sharkey to be 8th by the end of the regular season. Potential to be top 5 or 6 depending on our seed and which tournament we end up in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Big time win. I guess Cierra was really was sick last week and coach was right. Some big games coming up for the ladies. Miami (who lost last night) at home over the weekend is another huge one. Let’s keep the big mo going. Hopefully we can get to 20 wins and clinch a top 4 seed for the tourney. I wonder if this win moved the needle for us in terms of getting an at large bid? Imagine what beating the two “best” teams in the conference back to back could do for us and our resume. Go lady Bulls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they would have to win the rest of their games and go to the MAC finals again to get an at large. Just take it one game at a time and hope to see a big crowd on Sat.

Agreed, and the way things seems to shaping up with CMU and Miami now tied for first overall, a semifinal win over CMU may be just enough to push them onto the bubble, assuming no more regular season losses.

TML1000 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Heading into last night, our RPI was 43 and Ohio was 32. Miami was 42 heading into last night but their loss to Kent will drop them some but if we can win Saturday, back to back wins over top 50 teams would be very helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to win at least the next 2 games and get to the final, in my opinion. The latest projection has 3 MAC teams getting in. Making the finals would likely be necessary, unless there were some upsets along the way of the "top 3". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projections are great for us fans but you are only as good as your next game meaning if you lose the polls change on a game to game basis. There will have to be some upsets of the top three teams and UB will have to win in order for UB to be considered. In some respects they have been projected in polls based on the last couple years success and I am happy about that. But at the end of the season it is all about your record and resume so in a nutshell they just have to win their remaining games and let the chip fall where they may be. Go Bulls!!!!!

MillenniumBull Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 MACWBB has earned the right for 3 seeds, maybe 4. We are in one of the premier women’s conferences in all of the NCAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the big 6 are above with the Big East at 6 being propped up close to the Big 10 and SEC largely by Marquette's tremendous season.

Not going to highjack the thread with the other 3 but we are extremely lucky to have her. I don’t live in the area so not going to throw attendance shade but fans only watching the men are missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attendance at the CMU game was strong, over 3k, but unfortunately that number is still an outlier. Here's hoping the fans will come out to the last two home games, and last two chances to see CD at Alumni. She is up there with the best athletes ever in UB history...other than Mack and Jonathan Jones I can not think of any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do agree although I think the attendance this year has been a little better than the last few years. But still do not understand why more fans do not come out and see this very competitive team with especially Dillard and Hemphill to name two. Especially the student attendance is still very poor for the quality teams we have had. But I know the women’s attendance can not be even close to the men’s. Case in point is this year’s Ohio team that has had a great season so far and I looked at their attendance the last few games. It has been below the 1,000 mark????Even CMU women do not draw very well and they have had very good teams and even better quality players. It would be great to see 2- 3 thousand at Sat game or more.

bull_trojan Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The Ohio announcers yesterday treated UB like they were last place in the MAC. Basically conceded they were out of the at-large conversation with the loss to UB. It was kinda insulting, but then again we shouldn't have lost to Akron and BG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a while there's an outlier, but it's the exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
