I am personally okay with a "rebuilding" year. Very few coaches come in and have success immediately. I would rather a coach find "his guys" who he can develop and build a good culture rather than try to win immediately with someone who will be graduating in the spring. Obviously if it is possible to win and do those things at the same time that is preferred but it is not always easy or even possible to do that.

https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-basketball-recruiting/florida/bradenton/img-academy-pendleton/anquan-boldin The first thing he mentioned about his playstyle is being a "lockdown defender". That is something I like to see.

6'6" could be a nice redzone threat

I feel like GH is going to go for a more "positionless" basketball approach. He mentioned that he wants all players to be able to switch. So he might be going for a lot of taller guards and more athletic (but maybe shorter) big men.

Well I definitely know one of them for obvious reasons.

We are his first D1 offer, so I would assume there is a good chance he ends up here.

Marshall had a private workout with the Falcons and the article projects him as a 7th round - undrafted prospect. He probably has the best chance to be drafted out of any UB player this year.

I have always been very surprised we don't have a D! hockey program. Feels like we could be a very solid team with the local talent.

I don't get the game here, but he is putting up a solid stat line tonight so far. In foul trouble though.

I think it is great to have a former player on the staff. Should be able to help Halcovage with the ins and outs of UB.

I think our biggest selling point is that we typically win. Out of the last 15 seasons we have only had 2 losing seasons (one of which was barely below .500). In those seasons we have an overall record of 301-181 (.624 win %) and a conference record of 169-91 (.65). We have also made the tournament 4 times in the last 9 years. For coaches specifically this is good because most coaches view mid major schools as a place to get themselves to a power conference, which has happened to 2 of our last 3 coaches. UB is clearly a school that has the resources to succeed in the MAC and get coaches closer to their ultimate goal. I remember back in 2019 there was MAC coaches poll ranking all the jobs. They had our #1 selling point as Game Atmosphere. But obviously that has fallen off.

"It is a job that was highly sought after" - Alnutt. Well that is debatable.....

Pretty strong start for him, 7 pts and 5 boards in 13 minutes.

April fools?

I am very happy with the hire! Hopefully he can bring us back to the Oats level.

Hate to break it to you, but St. John’s is a better job that UB. Pitino chooses them over us every time.

I don’t think he will get fired, so I hope he retires.

Ohio refs came out to play today

It should be, but it won’t be

I voted for no one. When I was in school it definitely felt like Ohio, Kent, and Akron had the most animosity though. The good old days when DJ cooper stole a sign from the student section

The crowd looks pretty solid tonight

Powell hitting 3s completely changes this team

I hope Curtis Jones doesn't transfer

This commentary team is horrible

Very lazy play on his part
