"I  told you so..."

Why bother...

Well, the team is better this season than they were last year.

Are you insinuating Coach Jack should go or is not a good coach? Bc that is laughable. She has brought more sustained success to this program than any UB team has ever had.

If a player isn't happy or can't hack it...they can go. Again, it doesn't help the player or team for someone to stay if they do not want to be here.

Kounkou and Adams did not get much time...not sure about Hamilton. Departures happen every season on almost every team across the country, especially in recent years. We also brought in two transfers this season.

If a few players are unhappy, they should leave...no use in being somewhere you do not want to be. The team is doing just fine.

How long would you suggest sports should be shut-down when true "long-term" effects likely will not be known for years or longer?

Yes it's Canisius but Summer looked to be moving well...had a few drives from the top of the key. Hopefully by the new year she will be able to play 25-30 mins per game.

Now most outlets have BG as a 1 or 1.5 pt fav...still basically a pickem. Can we take that as Mballa will be good to go?

I am seeing UB as a 1 point favorite on a few sites...not sure why. Does anyone know if BG will be missing anyone?

Yes, this game should have been a win but VCU is still a very strong team. I do not think there is any danger of a "long, long year."

As for the rotation, Coach Jack always uses the early part of the season to play the players on the roster. At this point, you have to figure out what you have and how to use it. This occurred early on during some of the MAC championship seasons and I remember ppl worrying about it then as well. FLJ usually settles into a 7-8 player rotation at some point during MAC play.

After the initial "outbreak" it seems like the team has managed it exceedingly well...I believe Lance said there wasn't a single positive this week and very few since the first game.

Well, starting the season earlier, closer to a normal start date, when the virus was less prevalent, would have been nice.

Apparently the MAC just announced it as well due to Kent not playing this week either.

We could just play Miami again for fun...

Unreal...and too late in the week to even try to schedule another opponent. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if the MAC has a clause that would prevent scheduling other opponents anyhow. What a shame.

This was always the most likely game to get canned when the schedule was released.

Looks like Keita did get in for a bit...missed that. Evans looked solid at the wing in her debut. She will help alot with length on the perimeter.

Lol...exhibition, not exotic.

It's always tough to say they would have for sure blown it had the game been closer at half. If it were a close game throughout I doubt UB comes out as flat in the 3rd quarter. JMU is a good team, so this is still a very solid win.

Besides Hemphill, Gaba also did not play again as well as Keita, who did play in the exotic, so not sure of the issue there. Another tough one against VCU Thursday...2-0 in VA would be a very good start to the season.

Ohio also has Kent in week 6...so even if we were to lose next week, an Ohio loss to Kent would still give us the division.

For the 1st game in a weird year, it was pretty solid. Other than the 1st 5 minutes of the 2nd half, UB was clearly the better team. Williams seems like he has/is ready to take the next step and be the 2nd go to guy along with Graves.

Will need to see more of course, but it looks like this team will compete in the top 4 of the MAC, but not sure if they have enough to win it.

UB beat Mercyhurst today 85-49 - Summer Hemphill didn't log any minutes - anyone know what's up? 

As per the ESPN+ broadcast, she should play in one of the games in Virginia this coming week. McEvans was also held out due to being "banged up"...she will definitely be in the main rotation as well.

We should assume all games will be cancelled going in and if they actually get played, I guess that will be a bonus. Why even bother? Just dumb.

All things considered, UB seems to be managing it quite well considering their size. The percentage of students positive is far less than the percentage within the general community.

And we will go into a lockdown again today here too...yippeeeee.

If about a dozen games per week get cancelled between now and December 18th, we will definitely be ranked going into the MAC championship.

This is ridiculous at this point. Are we going to be spending the whole season on pins and needles just hoping to play each game? It's almost as if the playing of the game is even higher up than the win/loss/performance. It's so bizarro-world.

Let's let another year of life pass us all by...fun stuff.

I am sure there will be some fans for the womens final 4 since it is in Texas but I will plan on attending next in Minneapolis in 2022.
