First 10 minutes SIU getting outplayed heavily. They need Fletcher bad.

SIU playing, no Fletcher right now.

FYI to anyone still trying to buy tickets for Saturday's game, only individual tickets available are general admission (sections 117-121) and 300 level seats. I was told season tickets have taken up sections 111-116, which sounds like a promising turnout for Saturday's game. Somehow I managed to snag 2 tickets off stubhub behind the UB bench in 115 for 60 dollars.

Patrick Ewing at #92? LOL............................................................

This was posted in the forum. Very interesting. Wonder if Fletcher broke a team rule and is being punished for it. Either way, I want him to play on Saturday, I want the challenge for UB.

5 years, okay, again, look at where we are located, man. We don't live in an area where there is college sports culture and tradition. UB is not known for being a sports school. The first time in school history that we are ranked in basketball and now some more people are paying attention, that's great. You talk about "well if the Bonnies can do it, so can we". Okay, but, how long have they been competitive in basketball for? Since the 70's? A real near 50 year head start in Olean. It's going to take more time.....5 years of success is nothing. You have to grasp that. This is Bills and Sabres country. Always has been. Oats' Bulls might be the first program to change that, change the culture around here. You're just not getting the big picture....at all.

Man, 4 years of success isn't shit. Especially in an area where basketball is a complete afterthought, dominated by the Bills and Sabres, and with no college sports atmosphere in the Buffalo area. We as fans have to be patient.

Their coach has been super hush hush on the suspension, refuses to give a reason why and how long.

Rome wasn't built in one day. Relax.

Also, fuck anyone who dismisses us. We are #14 in the nation, and people in the world of college basketball recognize the talent UB has right now. Haters are going to hate. For God's sake, we have never been ranked during the season. Let's live it up. Let's pray for Nate and his staff to take us somewhere special.

Our school does not have the money to host big name programs though. And even if we did, teams don't want to play us on the road. Changing conferences isn't going to happen for a while. You think because we've had actual success in basketball for the past 4 years that we can just jump conferences? Nope. That won't happen for a long long time. Patience is a quality we as fans must have. As long as the university is committed to basketball, committed to Nate and invests in him, then he can build it into a college atmosphere and built into some special.

Kent State's final AP ranking after the tournament was #12. As far as I can see, Buffalo at #14 is the highest ranked MAC team during the season, prior to the tournament.

https://collegebasketball.ap.org/poll I saw them MAYBE jumping a couple spots after some loses above us, but #14 is sweet. Give your thoughts below.

#14! https://collegebasketball.ap.org/poll

Bonas fans, well, A-10 fans, think they're a multi bid league this year too lol......

Don't let Bonas fans know that......

https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/a4wet7/user_poll_week_6/#bottom-comments Not that it really means much, but, Reddit voters have UB at #15.

They play Murray State tonight on ESPN+ also, will be a good game to watch. Murray State has one of the most underrated guards in the nation, Ja Morant. Will be interesting to see is Fletcher plays tonight. SIU's coach has been hush-hush on how long he'll be suspended for and the reasoning behind his suspension. I want SIU's best players on the floor, we need to be tested with every team's best.

A lot of cry baby Bonnie fans crying that it's "classless". When the tweet specifically addressed the "we want UB", "fuck UB" and "UB sucks" shenanigans. A lot of fans are so dense, so jealous, and so full of themselves. It's really sad. They can't bear to see UB has any success.

Bonnies basketball is really the only thing Olean has. I feel bad for them, really. I don't even take it to heart when they say things like "fuck UB" or "UB sucks". It just makes the win even sweeter. But, moving on to SIU. Then we have more important things to worry about like Cuse and Marquette.

I've been on the board, but have been gracious in wishing them luck since it wasn't everyone in that thread shitting on us.

For Context, that was John Wawrow's story in the AP. Here's the tweet.

#JustOleanThings

Thank you for being gracious in defeat and showing respect before and after the game. Best of luck to your team the rest of the way.

Marquette just beat #12 Wisconsin. #9 Kentucky lost, 16 Kansas State lost, UCONN down 6 at the half against #11 Florida State, it's been a very generous day for UB.
