The players need to throw the records out and play 40 minutes of UB basketball.Has anyone heard on CJ is with his ankle?? Go Bulls!!!!!

I still remember the Ohio win against us in Cleveland when we were up by 20. If we come to play I am confident we will be victorious.

UB85 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Hope springs eternal. That’s why there are fanatics like us. And that’s why it’ll be another tough one unless our guys come to play. Edited March 3, 2019 by UB85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that time of year where one well timed winning streak can take you places. So even garbage teams have hope. I lived the Ohio comeback and bc of that I wanna wipe the floor with them at every opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I want nothing more then to embarrass them at every opportunity. I and every mighty maniac hate OU. I’m subconsciously rude to people that even wear forest green. It’s bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m subconsciously rude to people that even wear forest green. It’s bad. That game is when I first soured on Reggie’s coaching. I’ll never forget it. He didn’t call a single time out as Ohio mowed through our 20 pt lead. Consequently Ohio got the momentum and never relinquished it. If you noticed in the Akron game last Tuesday we threatened to run away with it the second half with Graves break away dunk and another play. Groce quickly called a time out each time. That stemmed the momentum we would have otherwise had. For me that is coaching 101. Edited March 3, 2019 by UB85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Reggie called a couple timeouts during that stretch (first should of been sooner). Stars just aligned against us that night.

UB_Prush Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Anecdotal, but I do remember Reggie being slow to call a timeout when we clearly needed one. Yeah, in hindsight it looks bad, but everything went wrong there, including Cage going from 4-4 in the first half to 0-4 or whatever the stat was from 3 in the second. I hated Ohio then for many reasons aside from just that night, but I have more feelings toward Akron and even the fans at St Bonaventure who still live in the 1960's at this point. With that said, I hope we crush them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bull_trojan Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I’d like to think they saw this coming so they preemptively hated us in 05 (and got lucky we didn’t start dominating the MAC then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Bortz getting called for the outlandish T and the winning shot all I remember is yelling at Reggie through the tv to call a time out and being pissed that he didn’t. That game was a huge bummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottier25 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I was at that game and I remember him not calling a timeout for much too long. I did however forget we were up 20. In game coaching was not a strong point for Reggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I'll never forget that last second foul when Ibihi was pulled from behind and the refs didn't call it. That cost us an NCAA berth...

It sucked losing that game, up 4 in the final minute, Idbihi corner 3 at the end of regulation, put back by Williams at the buzzer. Oh well, can't change the past. We're better off now and loving the current moment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could still be spinning our wheels like Canisius will continue to do until they wise up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree with a lot of the comments that there were other factors in that game that could of changed the outcome but if you are a good game time coach you can control when you call timeouts and how you communicate to the players. We could go on and on about Reggie but sometimes things change for the best. The memories we have had with both the men and women these last few years has just been unbelievable and unprecedented with more to come. Go Bulls!!!!!

bull_trojan Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Being there live, it all just happened so fast, I don't remember wanting us to take a timeout, kinda wanted the clock to just bleed out and for us to escape. TBatts final shot was cold blooded and gets lost in the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsFan14 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Lol. You are all worried about Ohio? We are going to destroy them. We aren't the underdog no more. Let them get excited. I am on the hating Ohio train too. They are the worst. Which will make this game more fun to watch them get destroyed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be important to get all over them on defense again. Just to be upfront with everyone on here, I graduated from Ohio University in 2013. I grew up a big UB fan and was devastated when the Bobcats came back to defeat the Bulls in the 2005 MAC Championship. I support both programs equally and remain neutral when they take on one another. The one thing I will say about Ohio fans, none of them actually think they have a shot vs. Buffalo on Tuesday. They're having an abysmal season, only recently putting together a few solid games against Bowling Green and Akron. Most of their fanbase is currently fighting between wanting Saul Phillips fired and sticking up for him as a person. They might have a good atmosphere at the Convocation Center on Tuesday due to hosting a ranked opponent but they don't really stand much of a chance against UB.

We all remember the end (having the center take the last shot in regulation of a tied game, when we had battle and cage on the team), but we tend to forget we lost a 19 point lead in like 5 minutes. Killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
