For those of you who even care about this silly new ranking system for college basketball, Buffalo is now #10. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

Not remotely surprised. He has a very high ceiling and has potential. For many players, it just takes time to adjust. Don't be shocked if him and Segu come alive during conference play and provide a huge spark off the bench. Same goes for Jeremy Harris. Last year, Harris struggled on offense outside of conference play, and once conference play began, he found his stride and was lights out, which carried over into the tournament. Don't be surprised with Harris coming alive during conference play again.

EMU does play zone but they're 2-5 against D-1 schools and have regressed greatly since last year. And you're right about Toledo, I don't think they have really been tested at all this year and have played a competent defense. Both of these should be wins. A team in the MAC I am worried about is Ball State. Competed well against Purdue and Virginia Tech, but, have also beaten weaker mid major schools. Nonetheless, they have a talent group this year. That should be a real good game.

If they beat Marquette, there is a very good possibility that they're going 31-0 through conference play.

Anyone know what kind of defense Marquette runs?

The handsome team ruffling feathers.

Quite possibly one of the better team rebounding performances I've ever seen, considering the team we faced and inside the carrier dome. Out-rebounding Cuse 48-35, 18 offensive rebounds. Just insane. It doesn't matter if Cuse is struggling or not, that place is hard to play and we outplayed them extremely in the second half. CJ Buckets proving to the world yet again that he shows up in big games. I couldn't be anymore proud of this team, and what they are accomplishing thus far. ONTO MARQUETTE! #HornsUp

I just wanted to shed some light on a recruit that hasn't been talked about as much, Tajzmel Sherman, who is from Missouri City, TX, who currently is a 6'4" 185 pound JUCO Sophomore playing for Colin County CC in McKinney, Texas. I had just browsed his stat line from this season, and so far, it is insane. He currently has other offers from teams like Cincinnati, SMU, FIU, and East Carolina. If we are seeking a player who has the potential to take over the role of CJ Massinburg, this could be one who does so for the next 2 years.

One thing I love about Nate, he's a very honest man.

At least Cuse is only a little over 2 hours away!

Cuse was not ranked until a day later after they beat Mizzou

I think it's safe to say at this point, that's not how the team is. I think they know they have to work for the next 2 games. Which is why I'm confident they will find a way to win tomorrow.

This sounds about right.

Bulls just need to play their game. Same way they've been playing this season. Fast and uptempo. Don't commit turnovers, take the open shot. Play unselfish basketball and continue to play great defense. The Orange are struggling bad on offense and I think we match up well with them. UB just has to adjust to the zone defense and they should be able to take this game.

Even with Jeremy struggling shooting the ball, he contributes in so many other ways like defense, rebounding, assists, moving the ball on offense. Even with his offensive struggles, we are fine. I don't get why people are saying the team isn't finding their stride on offense when the stats say otherwise.

With really no upsets this past weekend that helped us in any way, I think we should expect UB to either stay at 14th, or at most, move down 2 spots. I would be shocked if we moved up anymore.

Why are you concerned that the team is shooting 47% as a whole? And still shooting 33% from 3. We're shooting way better 10 games in this year than we were last year. And right now, we're way better defensively. The only person right now who's been struggling shooting the ball is Jeremy Harris. But, the rest of the team up to this point has been pretty good.

The win is more or less impressive because WVU was ranked highly and expected to do well this season. Bulls went into their place, a tough place to play against a legendary coach and outplayed them. Does the committee feel the same way? Who knows.

Should be a fun/loud game. Call the ticket office tomorrow morning as there still might be GA and 300 level seats available. I'll be in section 115! #HornsUp

Exactly, and that applies with any major college sport, football or basketball. In basketball we've had 4-5 years of success but it's not long enough to have a well-established fan base in the area to care enough, especially in the area that we live in. In the last 10 years in football, we've now had like, 3 good years? Which is not good, especially in the MAC. Certainly isn't close to being good enough to build and sustain a fan base in the school and the community. I've been saying it for a while, for something like basketball to succeed in WNY, they have to keep winning, and they have to win a lot. Like what they're doing right now. Sooner or later, with the success basketball is having. People are slowly going to come around. It's just, WNY is an area with no college tradition or culture, and for good reason.

I get it, it's for Fletcher's sake, to give him privacy whatever the issue is. And it's Hinson's job to focus on getting his team ready for a game. Just reading the entire thread on Fletcher, their fans don't believe he is going to be playing. But, who knows.

Maybe the Pegulas should consider making a generous investment. 😄

All that's left per the ticket office is GA and 300 level seats. Check ticket sites, maybes you'll find others.

He should be a lotto pick at some point, the guy can really do it all. Score and pass. Not only is he really good on offense but he is a dog on defense, really solid defender and rebounder.

Wow, Ja Morant 15 points 9 assists in the first half. That guy might be one of the best guards in the nation. What a talent.
