I bet they'll allow 25% fan capacity in the stadiums which means....the MAC will have a fairly normal season attendance wise...

Sad. Can we fill his scholarship or do we just lose the scholarship for the year?

Honest question. If we push the season back to 2021, what happens to the seniors who would be seniors this year? Are they eligible next year as 5th year seniors and wouldn’t the roster be made up of more players with the incoming freshmen this year plus next years freshmen class? Anyone know how that will work?

No CJ? 

CJ still has a shot at the NBA. 

Starting lineup would be Wes Clarke, Shannon Evans, Jeremy Harris, Javon Mcrea and Mitchell Watt. Bench Lamonte Bearden, Dontay Caruthers and Justin Moss

It's hard to tell kids to stick around when your conference only gets a kicker and a offensive lineman drafted. "Hey you can get a mini camp tryout or maybe even a UDFA contract" is a hell of a lot less convincing than "You can get drafted here"

To answer your question, two MAC grad transfers were drafted.

Wow a total of 2 MAC grad transfers got drafted...this was still a down year for any former MAC players.

Anyone notice the significantly low amount of MAC players drafted this year?

I say they have to play in the Cbi or whatever trash post season tourney IF they get invited. They need the practice and should play as much as they can. Also, need to find a top notch recruiter in the offseason. Maybe someone from the AAU ranks. We need better players bottom line. 

Love beating Can’t State

I would’ve preferred to see him than Nickleberry in the first half. 

Both Grant and Nickleberry can stay on the bench....worthless.

Anyone see Texas Tech beat the #1 ranked team Louisville tonight? So you know what that means...If DePaul beat Texas Tech and Buffalo beat DePaul, then Buffalo is better than Texas Tech which beat the #1 team in the nation. Basically UB has a case to be the #1 team in the nation. 

Both Grant and Williams have tunnel vision. They are turnover prone. I’d play Hardnett and Nickleberry more instead.

2 things from this game - Watching Grant attempt to play basketball is frustrating. Also, this lady announcer is no Cierra Dillard as an tv analyst. Doesn’t seem as polished.

Be pretty cool if Khalil Mack showed up to watch.

Any word on a return visit by Vandy or DePaul to Alumni next year? I feel like it is more realistic to schedule these caliber teams to come to UB that are in the middle tier of their high major conference than the bigger name Dukes or UNCs.

Their game was atrocious like their shorts tonight

They need to play the best 5 and only 5. Graves, Jordan, Johnson, Mballa and Grant. Everyone else isn’t doing anything or a defensive liability.

Come on UB Bulls youtube...do something.

I don't understand why these pre-season predictions sleep on Johnson. He could be our leading scorer and end up either 1st or 2nd team all mac at the end. Also, isn't he a R-Senior not a R-Junior as they listed in the line up?

Once he starts playing for UB, the rest of the MAC will have no chance...

Imagine if Tyree stayed at UB and then maybe KJ Osborn and Tyler Mabry stayed too. We could've had one of the best teams in our history. That with our returning offensive line plus our stud RBs. What could have been...

Thought that it would be a fun discussion to make an all-decade team for UB basketball. Might be a bit of recency bias in my team but it's hard not to considering the success we've had as of late.

C Nick Perkins

F Javon McCrea

F Jeremy Harris

G CJ Massinburg

G Wes Clark

 

Backups:

C Mitchell Watt

F Justin Moss

F Blake Hamilton

G Shannon Evans

G Dontay Caruthers

 

Reserves:

F Willie Conner

G Davonta Jordan

Only one change I would make on the first team and that would be Moss or Watt for Harris. Harris was not MAC player of the year caliber like both Moss and Watt. Great off the bench and instant offense type player in this scenario. 

Zach Filzen was highly underrated

Honestly I am fine with three guards starting but I don't like the reasoning being that it is because they are our 3 best players. Was it a no brainer to start Perkins because he was one of our 2 best players?

Perkins situation was unique. The reason he didnt start was because he was prone to get in foul trouble early. If he wasn’t known to get into foul trouble, he would have started because he was one of our 3 best players. 

Yeah I disagree with Maine on the starting line-up. Jordan, Graves and Johnson will be starting because they are the 3 best players on the team. Period. No brainer. Whitesell preached at his introduction press conference that we would play the same up tempo style that Oats had. So why would we all of a sudden go 3 forwards and only 2 guards? Johnson is taking Massinburgs spot and should be good for at least 12pts per game. Just watch. He can ball.
