I'm not asking for much...just a backup plan. That Alnutt didn't have one is a bit concerning. Hurley leaving and Oats leaving are "just business". But the AD's job is also "just business", and good businesses have backup plans.

Then maybe AD needs to go as well. ADs in mid-major conferences that have successful programs are required to have some measure of skepticism IMHO. I mean, it just happened right here only a few years ago. Is our institutional memory that short?!?

Sorry if this was covered here already, but I'll take the chance and ask this anyway: Was our AD so naive that he didn't have a disaster plan readied in case this happened???

Texas Tech. For me it’s always best to lose to the team that ultimately won it all.

Captain Obvious says nothing many of us didn't already know or suspect. Please crawl back into your hole, Jerry.

I was in my living room with the big flatscreen on the men's game and the small kitchen TV tuned to the ladies game. At the men's game half I switched - and never switched back. The girls were magnificent in their zeal and energy and toughness. Coach Jack has built a program based on sound basketball and positivity. Can't wait for next season. Go Bulls!

Poor officiating? You bet. But mostly poor shooting by UB against an outstanding defensive team. And our coaching was disappointing; I never thought I'd ever say that coach Oats was badly outcoached, but there's a first for everything. I have high hopes for next year and wish that the new season would start right away!

I’m a suspicious sort: UB has to play #2 seed and CMU would play #1 seed if they won. Feels a bit anti-MAC. Sad to see CMU lose in such a dramatic fashion. Happy to see Presley and Reina graduate.

That was a textbook, training film, block. Defender was moving feet and body.

A solid hooray for Jeremy looking more like Jeremy and Jeenathan looking like he belongs.

Poor FT shooting on us. Very poor officiating on refs.

I shake my head when I go to a D1 volleyball there and the ball gets caught in the ceiling rafters. Maybe Canisius can appeal to the Pegula’s for a donation to build something other than a Middle School-class gym.

Officials pretty much tilt the game toward BG with bogus technical foul call.

We had another thread about renovating AA. There was a debate about adding more seating. I'm all for that, but this (see photo) is NOT what I had in mind. Whoever is in charge had the brilliant idea to add 4 seats in the aisle that is used by hundreds of fans to get to the GA section. There was a guard posted next to the seats the entire game, where his only job was to tell folks they had to "go around". Going around meant walking onto the court in front of the court-side seats. Wow, are we THAT desperate for money?

Pretty much all that can be said about the game, the fans, the coach has been said. Let me add that this is the second game in a row where the refs were pretty much a non-factor (I suspected as much when I saw that one of the officials was Kevin Ferguson) and recall booing (and my dear wife screaming “Are you kidding me!”) only a few times. Additionally, there was another thread here about future changes to the arena. This game, with robust beer sales to a record crowd, really emphasized the gross inadequacy of the restrooms. Lol.

Women’s team nearly pulled off a “hold my beer” game one day after men won by 47. They were ahead of Ball State by 41 with 2 minutes left but couldn’t build their advantage to 48 points. Entire team played, and all scored except one. Good job, ladies.

R&RP2 should NEVER be played.

Having an outside shooter changes the visiting teams willingness to pack in their players down low to prevent easy baskets by Cierra and Morrison. This is why Courtney is so valuable when she is hitting her three's. The mystery is why Hannah Hall sometimes refuses to shoot, especially 3s since she is often in position and her mechanics are very good.

I was surprised and dismayed to hear Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part 2 played at a woman's game during the break. That song has been pulled from the play list of every pro, and most university, arenas for quite some time.

Typo. MAC is 8th ranked. Not sure if that changes anything.

With this loss we’ll drop out of the Top 25. That might be a good thing, but it pisses me off because we are better than the crap show we brought in the 2nd half tonight (and it also pisses me off that teams with 5-6 losses will remain in the Top 25). As for an at large bid, MAC commish said we are 8th ranked conference - that’s not exactly a strong argument for a second team in the tournament.

I walked away from tv before the finish. I couldn’t stomach watching this team sleepwalk through the second half. And I honestly don’t understand Harris getting so many minutes, so not happy with Oats right now.

It’s always been “have to win the tournament”. The immediate issue is what does Oats do with Harris?
