This response is spot on. P5 poaching of a good UB coach with players following Lance to Kansas, plus the transfer portal, makes it difficult to maintain any type of winning momentum. Lance's first two years were rough, including a 2-10 season his second year, with a loss to Albany. Holy Cross was ranked 10th in FCS when they played Buffalo. With Buffalo still trying to gel as a team, they were ripe for an upset. IMO, having a consistently winning coach over a long period of time is one key to winning consistently. Need proof. Look at Frank Solich's reign at Ohio. But now with the transfer portal, even that is no longer guaranteed.

That's a little unfair for the WBB coach. Let them play a season first. Basketball needs a change. We kept the coach to prevent a mass exodus of players. They are all or mostly gone now. Football needs till the end of the '23 season. We need Alnutt to fix basketball. IMO we can go back to the Hofer days if our basketball program is doing great.

This was a good win. I was hoping it was high-scoring and we were able to come out on top. Let's enjoy this one tonight and move to next week. First place in the MAC East.

Your basketball takes are more detailed/thought out. Thus, even if you are incorrect on a prediction, at least there is some substance on basketball. This one...not so much.
