This is how people are. Even on this message board. Even during our awesome years. All people want to do is complain complain complain. They can do whatever they want but what a waste of time. If you've followed the team long enough you'll appreciate how awesome of a time we are living in the program history. Its way more fun having a patient approach especially with this team. Lots of learning and geling to do. I was letdown during the Vandy game but I know what the roster is capable of and was very excited about the DePaul game and the result was a pleasant surprise.

What a ridiculous statement.

Lots of negativity in here considering we just beat an undefeated big east team that was one day away from being ranked. I think it’s official: we’re a spoiled fan base 🙂 The program has definitely come a long way in a short time

Big win, ugly second half, we are onto Army.

TV Coverage: ESPN+ Radio: Tunein Live Stats: UBBulls.com The Bulls return home after a tough stretch (mostly) on the road and a big win against previously undefeated Depaul. I don't know anything about this Army team other than the fact that they're going to lose on Dec. 14th. GO BULLS

I am shocked at how much people think Johnson needs his minutes diminished. Does he take some bad shots...yes, but he is arguably the second best defender on the team. He drew the assignment of Charlie Moore yesterday the top scorer for DePaul not Jordan or anyone else and Moore preceded to turn it over eight times and foul out. Johnson has to play. His shot will come, but his defense is there every night.

I do agree. But this season, it’s frustrating to see a team who is so athletic and talented, beat themselves often. As someone who has witness 90’s and 00’s UB basketball, I’m certainly grateful for the last 5-6 years as it’s been the best. But I’ll always be critical because it’s okay to do, especially when one is passionate.

They once again won’t stand out on a stat sheet but the minutes that both Hardnett and Nickelberry provided filled some pretty key stretches and allowed us to handle DePaul’s size advantage very well.

Luckily the players & coaches saw (and found) a way to win the game.

What I liked: Segu and Graves' competitiveness. Team rebounding (especially Mballa) on both ends of the floor against a team that had a size advantage. Jordan with a big 3 near the end, and Johnson with 2 big free throws near the end. Nickelberry's vision for passes through traffic. How there were guys out there who could keep their cool enough to see this one through. What I didn't like: Jordan's maddening inability to hit free throws. That goes for others too but him in particular. Johnson's shooting. Grant and Williams' fumbly hands. How the team got sloppy and plodding on offense against the zone down the stretch and allowed DePaul back into it, and that awful inbound near the end that almost allowed them a chance. What I love: A team that's growing week by week, guys finding their roles, and a big win for this team and this program on the road.

Grant is terrible at basketball. I can't believe they played him down stretch. Jordan was so mad at him late. I've been so disappointed in him and Johnson this season. They shot 5 for 20 again. Segu/Graves balled. Jordan was pretty good all day except missing his first four free throws before canning a huge 2.

Have to get Grant and/or Johnson the ball...and increase tempo. When you’re up by 19, with ten to go, floor it!
