Kenpom has Buffalo’s defense ranked 2nd best in MAC as of now. Buffalo has been digging itself a hole by its inability to come out of the gate and scoring. The problem would seem to be offense, or more precisely - a lack of offense.

As of the end of today’s games, Buffalo has the 2nd best ranked MAC defense. Offense is where they fall short.

I’m watching BG vs Toledo. It’s a close game. The Bulls should make the MAC tournament, should it actually be played. As poorly as they have played so far, it is possible that the Bulls could win a couple of games and then find itself in a championship game. Reasons to doubt that will happen: poor foul shooting, poor 3 point shooting, no killer instinct and no go-to man in the clutch. And while I was typing Toledo has gone up by 12.

Maybe Buffalo can get into a bidding war with ASU.

If Whitesell should get dismissed, would anyone pony up for round 2 of Bobby?

It hurts when a team has by far the most talent in a conference, only to see it squander its advantage by...blah blah blah. This team is not the most talented. It is average.

Mr NBA with 6 Turnovers!

Preston is a showman. But he’s got many flaws. In that last shot-clock violation he nonchalantly held the ball way too long as the clock ticked down. I don’t see him in the NBA.

Brewton!

Preston may be a projected 2nd round NBA draft pick, but he’s turning the ball over with flashy stupid play. Broderick on the other hand is killing it.

Lest anyone forget Jarryn Skeete: In 2020, Skeete joined the Sudbury Five. He averaged 9.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, earning Second Team All-Canadian honors.[5]

Tonight’s game is postponed due to Covid.

Tripathi is the one who either acquiesced or, decided, that the name of Millard Fillmore - a founder of the college - must be stripped for his political and racial views from over 150 years ago. What a fucking fool!

Just another nail...Williams absurd 3 point attempt with the Bulls down by 1 was taken with 7 seconds left...enough time for Kent to get a shot off in an attempt to tie or win. Whitesell does not deserve to be leading the UB men’s basketball program. Mark Alnutt is either in over his head, or he is impervious to the demise of the men’s basketball program. Where does the buck stop? Tripathi.

Trying to find some positives: Skogman looks like a diamond in the rough. Brewton can lend some experience.

Whitesell must be fired immediately, if not sooner. This program is headed nowhere under his helm.

Nice. Down by one with 10 tics...take a 3! You suck Whitesell

Give it to anyone but Graves

Senior leadership by Graves is nonexistent

Anyone who doubts the ability or the coaching of this team is a fool! Duh...

Do you see now why our Bulls are the best team in the MAC? How dare anyone question them or their coach!

Well, disregard anything I’ve posted earlier tonight.HaHa

Wow! Every team deserves some slack as far as poor performances, but this team already has exhausted a year’s worth. Forget winning the Conference, forget winning the conference tournament, forget being considered a contender...Williams and Mballa are pretty good, Segu shows flashes, Graves has underperformed, but that’s it! There is no one else!

“This Bulls team is loaded with talent”...that ridiculous attitude just doesn’t cut it any longer. This team is deficient in a lot of areas.
