This season really will be what kind of improvement we see by the end of the season The good news......starting pretty low so lots of room to improve I am worried the coaching staff didn't realize the depth issue until they started playing games UB has 6 players right now in Smith, Adams, Chatman, Jones, fulcher and boldin (really impressed by boldin) You can get a workable 7th in sabol if you get him and the team to buy in that he is a shooter this season for spacing A comment on the turnovers, if the refs called the game a bit more tightly RW would have had over half their 16 man bench foul out and the game might still be being played. Very handsy team lots of grabbing and hand checks. Which definitely led to more turnovers

I just cannot understand why the coaching staff thought this would work. Anyone at this level would never fool themselves into this game plan. There has to be an explanation

4th & 2 and you call a pass play for Ogbonna?? Can we stop it already with the rotating QB’s?

You know it’s bad when the announcers are mocking your offense on the second series. It feels like we have about 4 plays to choose from.

I watch all the Buffalo Big 4 teams as a Buffalo sports fan. George Halcovage has not much talent on this team. When I first saw this season UB Bulls team I thought this team is scary bad. George Halcovage won’t win here going the freshman route any player any good will be taken by other programs. Making UB Bulls a training grounds for younger developed talent. Because anybody any good isn’t going to stick around for the losing at UB. UB Bulls needed to go the St Bonaventure Bonnies Mark Schmidt route pick good players from lower Division I conferences that are stars to come to the UB Bulls. That was the cardinal mistake George Halcovage made was going young because the losing will be so bad what comes out of the young players that are good are leaving. Division I college basketball isn’t develop young players anymore. Even Canisius Golden Griffins Reggie Witherspoon had to change with transfer portal part of the deal. The Griffs have mostly new players experience from other schools. I hope I am wrong about George Halcovage but he reminds me of another Villanova assistant Marty Marbach of the Canisius Golden Griffins in the late 1980’s early 1990’s before he was fired. Because he thought you could win the Villanova way just like George Halcovage with development because who is leaving power house Villanova? Canisius and now UB are apples and oranges compared to Villanova basketball. If UB Bulls don’t win games players that are any good are going to transfer. I don’t think the UB Bulls will win 10 games this season which is sad so no I don’t think George Halcovage is going to be a successful coach at UB. I don’t trust him and he has lowered this team to lower than Jim Whitesell which I didn’t think was possible with UB Bulls basketball but here we UB Bulls fans in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo

Wow!! So many of the comments are right on.Defense lacking and I am sure anyone who seen the game noticed we came out trying to press them and even tried playing a zone that looked very unorganized so back to man to man which did not look any better. Adams had another very sloppy game and I don’t even know how we would look without Chatman. At times it looked more like a football game with the physicality. Does anyone know why Jones played very little in the 2nd half as he looked decent in the first half. If we can’t handle the press from a D2 team we are in big trouble in the MAC. Their trip to Florida for three games should tell a lot if this coaching staff and players can figure out to play some kind of team ball.

The UB Bulls director of athletics Mark Alnutt when his UB Bulls contract is up shouldn’t be renewed in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo

Ultimately, the MAC is sort of a transition league between FCS and G5…let’s face it. The MAC is the worst FBS conference now. We happen to have some very green coaches who are leaning on the job. It sort of “is what it is” at the moment. We don’t have to get much better to be competitive next year, but I am baffled as to why we are doing what we are doing with the QB play…especially when thinking about the future. I haven’t looked yet, but we have gone back 20 years now in sports…at least the top sports. I was hoping we would never go back…but the sleeping giant that awakening a while back…is asleep again. Probably time to think about new leadership for the athletic department.

Just unbelievable turn of events. Kinda sums up this dumpster fire of a season, doesn’t it though?

Okay boys. Run that one play extra hard.

The 4 guys in the colored pinnies must really, really suck.

I'm legit worried what the teams at the top of the Mac will do to this team

If we somehow pull this out, I am really sad at what the MAC is this season

Check the turnovers

They just need to stick with Cole unless he's hurt. The other QB fools no one and he gives no threat of passing the ball. UB scored some TDs earlier in the year against decent competition. Not sure why they have gotten so conservative. Miami’s D is solid but c’mon Mo, they aren’t Penn State. Just play to win not just kill clock and hope it stays close.

Team defense will need significant improvement to be competitive in MAC.

If this were an NFL team, I would say they are going for a draft pick. This offense cannot really be what they practice every week. Do the WR even run down the field anymore? Snyder had thrown for over 5,000 yards, did he all of a sudden forget how to throw? What the hell is this coaching staff doing? They have nothing to lose, let’s run something real for God sake!

Roberts Wesleyan is way better than their 271 ranking in Division 2.

This is amateur hour for our offense and the play calling reminds me of Hohfer. We moved the ball repeatedly with simple runs between the tackles and then decide to go with trickery on the direct snap and the stupid ass backup qb run plays. We destroyed the entire drive. That was a joke. Hohfer used to do the same shit. Run the ball fir 5 yards a carry with Philip Warren all the way to the red zone then go with some bs misdirection to throw them off. It never works and our OC should be fired.

Our play call on 4th down was literally the dumbest call i’ve ever seen in my life based on how that drive was called prior to that. and the announcers agreed.

Lol, the TV announcer after 2 series sounds so disappointed in Buffalo’s offense. He’s trying to say it in the nicest way.

Besides a double digit win, my hope for tonight is that UB stays focused on playing team ball and not devolve into a 1 on 1 fest due to weaker competition. Continue along the same vein of the first 2 games where a majority of makes came off assists (15 of 30 vs FDU and 15 of 20 vs USA). Of course double digit steals leading to a heap of fast break points wouldn’t disappoint me 😂

Not really sure what to say about this one. We have a couple players, but there are some massive holes in this roster that I'm really worried about come MAC play. The coaching/organization has been lacking to my eye, which is even more concerning. I understand not being able to recruit well right away, but the defensive lapses, stagnant O, and turnovers are surprising to me. Our guys were racing down the court with 45 seconds left with a lead and turning the ball over, and GH3 wasn't even yelling or motioning for them to slow it down (Presutti actually was behind him). I'm not going to harp on the lack of ball-handling because I know I'm already a broken record about it, but I'm still shocked by it. MAC guards are going to abuse us and I absolutely hate predicting that.
