Not to defend Alnutt but keep in mind the difference in academic requirements between SUNY and Ark St. And was it pride or being turned off by the attitude displayed by Hodgson when Oats left?

Magic number to go Cleveland is one. Although looking at the standings it would appear to be two, but UB beat Miami and swept Ohio. So a UB win or a loss by either Miami or Ohio sends UB to Cleveland.

Another win for Arkansas State today. That's 5 in a row and 7 of 8 to get them to 15-14 (10-6) overall and up to 136 in KenPom. For comparison, this is where UB finished each season under Jim Whitesell: 2020: 148 2021: 77 2022: 130 2023: 211 Remember all the comments about Hodgson being out of control, not knowing the x's and o's and not being mature enough to be a head coach... All he's done in his first year is guide a historically weak program to a 151 spot improvement in their KenPom ranking and taken them from a 4-14 Sun Belt record to 10-6. For perspective on Arkansas State, this is where they finished in KenPom the last six years: 2018: 281 2019: 254 2020: 206 2021: 252 2022: 181 2023: 287 Hodgson knows how college basketball operates. It's a shame UB's athletic director put his pride above improving the program.

Hodgson has won five straight and 7 of 8. His team is scoring in bunches too. It’s an actual brand of basketball.

I regret this post
