Look at this. ESPN now thinks we are in a power conference. Ha. We are now in elite company. 

Hopefully they don’t fix this error. 

I'm cool with them saying this, but they've basically thrown us out the window for the way to early top 25 and I haven't heard a peep in how they see us shaking out next season.

I'm not worried about all this, because I feel there's some benefit to being a power underdog, just think it's kind of funny.

She just got picked 8th in the second round by Minnesota!

I'm so happy for her. I look forward to getting her Jersey

This game is awesome! I'm totally cool with having lost to Tech, they are playing crazy good March ball.

Not sure if I missed it, but did he address if he was going to contact the recruits that de-committed?

He didn't, but I hope that's a given

I think TT being in the final says a lot about our loss. It shows that we lost to a team that too it all the way. I'm actually really happy to see Tech ho to the finals as it is a huge boost for our loss to them. I for one do not mind at all saying that our loss was to the national champion.

To slightly change topic, who do we think could be a good assistant for recruiting? I was thinking Battle might be a good choice mainly because of his background here and being young, along with bring a former player, might help inspire some kids to come play here.

You know, at this point, between Oats and Hodge, I'm ready for new blood. These 2 left in a really shitty way and I am definitely over them. It's like getting rid of an abusive SO. You can't see how you could do without them until they're gone and then you're like, "Holy crap, we could do so much better!"

Him and Andre Allen, so, we have 0 forward depth currently. 

nice... -__-

Wait... okay... so the only recruit we've lost was Raymond, right?

If that was to come true, he would join the most recent UB player to have an NBA sniff. Mitchell Watt was in the Warriors camp for a summer or two before being the last one not to make the roster, shortly before the Warriors became the current juggernaut that they are. It would be beyond awesome to be a 1st round pick, as only 1st round pick salaries are guaranteed, while 2nd round ones aren't (at least I think that's still the case).

I don't care what team our guys go to, I'm buying those jerseys

Perkins just got a spot on the NABC game! That's the top talent in the country playing in a game! I hope this increases his draft credit. I'd love to see him, Jeremy, and CJ get drafted!!

WTF WTF WTF. No No No. This can't be right. FML FML

Yeah, my stomach sunk about 300 levels when I saw the news pop across ESPN...

This is a huge gut punch. I absolutely hate that this keeps happening to us. It is really hard to not get disheartened with all of this. I'm afraid that Segu and Williamson will go and some of our commits from this year might jump ship too. I really hope I'm just deflated from all this and that won't happen, but it's not easy to stay positive.

I also really want to have Nate with all his positive talk about staying in Buffalo and loving the community. However he has done so much for us, so I really am fighting to just wish him luck.

These teams have come so far I'm seemingly such a short time. FLJ and Oats have helped propel UB into the national spotlight and hopefully will continue to do that for years to come. The recruiting has been top notch on both the men's and women's teams even when we didn't have any national notariety. It's all about finding those that fit into the system and isn't always about getting the best players in the country.

Our players play such selfless and team basketball that it's easy to cheer for them, as we've seen all year.

Let's also not forget the men and women behind the scenes that help our players do their very best on and off the court. Tutors, sports medicine personnel, managers, assistant coaches, and all the others I can't even think of. They are just as much responsible for all our success and should not be over looked.

Here's to the many years ahead of UB and hopefully an eventual national title.

What a finish. All fight until the last horn. We took UConn to the brink, just couldn't get over the hump.

Hell of a ride for the ladies. Can't wait to see another championship in the MAC next year 🙂

Sometimes you are the windshield and that was our fate tonight.

Don't you mean sometimes you're the bug? Haha.

I thought the saying went, "sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug"

I'm all for baning these two "Bulls fans"

Gotta love the fair weather fans that love to support when you're doing well and then pull a "told you so" when they lose.

I really think there should be at least some decorum in our message board.

I'm critical, but by no means less proud of what our guys have done.

I'm putting this up to remember that there was a time where we couldn't get past the round of 32. It was rough for us in the moment and felt like it was insurmountable, but we will prevail. It may take a few more years and that means a few more disappointing games, but we will get through.

Anyone know the best way to get to Anaheim? 

Through Texas Tech

Well, this is a really sorry way to end the season. Talk about going down in a blazing fireball.

Still proud as hell of our guys. Absolutely the best season, just wish we could send CJ, Perk, Dante, and McRae out on a better note.

The revenge of the MAC refs. I didn't know they switch zebras mid way

Nerves are out. I hope Nate is in that locker room telling them poor first, but the second is time for work. Clean up some play and we got this

Good news:

 

How is this good news? It says they were limping off the court!?

Heels handled Washington. That was never even close.

We need to take some notes from that game on how to beat zones because they dismantled that zone
