Nightmare scenario for the Orange. Boeheim is on the phone right now helping Dino out of the situation. Imagine the mean things UB Football players say on the field.

So Ohio looked awfully good vs a Miami team that has a legit QB....Ball State kept it close vs Toledo That Ball State/Ohio game should be an awfully good one next week.

I hope you are wrong too. I think we will win, but I think that may be based more on my desire for them to win that any actual facts I can point to.

I wonder if all colleges have gone paperless and was it because of the pandemic?? At any rate not everyone has the capability to do that. Another I guess example of saving money in the wrong places and in many cases UB runs their operation like a D111 program. I guess a sign of the electronic age. Go Bulls!!!

Did anyone catch this yesterday…

The NCAA seeding doesn't really work that way. The teams in the same bracket as Pitt are not considered to have seeds, but just because Pitt is #4 doesn't mean UB is #13 seed. The unseeded teams in the same bracket as Pitt are mostly selected by geography and to keep travel costs down if possible (although there are other reasons as well).

OK, where the hell was that the last 2 seasons? The defensive intensity was phenomenal. Quick hands all over the place with 12 steals on a team that moves the ball pretty well. The counter attacks were impressive too. It felt like a Buffalo basketball game from a few years ago. The only difference was our half court offense seemed a bit out of control and our shooting (despite a misleadingly high % from layups) was pretty mediocre with a bunch of missed runners. They'll get better as the season goes on but WOW I was beyond impressed with the first showing. It's only 1 game but if this keeps up I'll gladly say I was wrong about Whitesell. One more thing, if Yazid Powell continues to play like that he will be up for MAC POTY.

UB sports don't have a big enough dedicated fanbase to fill the arena/stadium unless they are a very good team. It is what it is. Hopefully the fact that it was a Monday night lowered attendance more than what it would be on a weekend. As we saw with those Top 25 teams, if you win, they will show up.

I agree with Brook. If you haven't been there, get there. The whole West Point experience was awesome.
