Do agree. Just refreshing personalities. Will be listening to this handle now and if more choose to tune out WGR and let management know maybe they will reconsider their positions but I will not hold my breath. Go Bulls!!!!

Agree. Several players have played better and more consistent making up for the loss of Clark namely Graves, Caruthers Jordan and Segu. As long as Harris does the other things like playing defense and rebounding even if he struggles from the field we should be okay. Hope Harris finds his touch before MAC play begins. Go Bulls!!!!

Agree, Any win is a good win and can only enhance our rankings. The main thing is just continue to win and gain more confidence with each win. It is still a long season and anything can happen to teams from one week to the next. Go Bulls!!!!

It was a good crowd. A lot of buzz in the crowd before the game and the highlights they show before the tipoff are very good and many times you see the opposing team looking up at it. I wonder how many other arenas have the same setup. Another good win but still troubling on the outside shooting especially Harris that looks like it is mentally starting to bother him. Harris is usually good on the rebounding side even when he is not scoring but he only had one rebound. I think Fletcher not playing has hurt the overall SIU chemistry. We did play a decent defensive game but SIU is very deliberate on offense taking almost all of the shot clock. They only put up 45 shots to our 62. The positive for our team is when a couple of our players are having off games there are others who can pick up the slack. I know Nate will have the team working on breaking the zone defense that we will be seeing against Syracuse and some of the MAC teams. I heard Syracuse lost to Old Dominion in the dome!!!! Go Bulls!!!!!

I agree Joseph. I blame the station management for the content of this station or lack thereof. It is ok to be an alum of a certain school but when it affects and influences the content of your show I can’t agree with that. I think White and others should go back to Syracuse and and work there and be a cheer leader of their team. So our family chooses not to listen to that station. I agree they can have fun with talking about Syracuse but not at the expense of not talking about our local teams. In the meantime our family will listen to stations that will talk about our local teams and have fun with that. Looking forward to a great game and a boisterous crowd on Saturday. Go Bulls!!!!

Do agree. The general buzz is upbeat and definitely more fans and the general public are showing more interest. Hope we see good attendance from the students.Is the whole student population leaving and going home for the holidays?? Hope the word is out for students to show up for the game. The Bucky and Sully show is talking about UB on a daily basis and will be talking to CJ on tomorrow’s show. I don’t listen to WGR55 much any more because they are just Bills and Sabres but has anyone heard anything from this station that they mention UB? I think they talk more about Syracuse!!Go Bulls!!!!

Thanks BrazenBull! I feel like we are a close knit family. Defferent opinions and perspectives on many issues but when it comes to our teams we are on the same page. Looking forward to a great crowd on Saturday and another great win. Go Bulls!!!!

Thanks for the update. We have been making road trips to some of the games but unfortunately with XMAS we can’t make this one. With the team’s success more fans seem to be coming forward with good information on many topics. On another note is someone able to post the interview that Coach Jack had on radio 1270 today? Go Bulls!!!!

Another accolade for Nate Oats. A coach that has the right kind of work ethnic and a down to earth type person. If and when we have success this year Mark Alnutt better tear the contract up and give Oats and staff another raise and extension. Go Bulls!!!!

Really nice to be able to hear the different perspectives from Bryan and get to know his personal side. This does appear to be a really close coaching staff and their success has brought life back into the UB community. Go Bulls!!!

Did not mean that they have not but just with the increased exposure and success I am hoping for even more of increased importance on promoting the overall UB sport experience. Of course the fans have to buy into the sports experience with their attendance at games. Go Bulls!!!

I do agree with many of the opinions on the popularity of the basketball programs. It took the last 4/5 years of success to start getting more people interested in UB sports. The media interest has increased. 1270 the Bucky and Sully show is talking about UB on a consistent basis. WGR is still just a Bills and Sabres show especially with one of the morning guys wanting to talk about Syracuse basketball instead of UB because he went to Syracuse!!!! The UB admin. Has to continue to keep their foot on the gas on promoting UB sports and hope the sports culture starts to change in our favor. We have to exercise patience and in the meantime enjoy the ride. Go Bulls!!!!!

If we can get 4,400 for LeMoyne we should be able to sell out for SIU. Only hope there will be more media coverage by radio,tv, and UB can put more pressure on the Buffalo News to run some articles during the week. Go Bulls!!!!!

With all of the negative exposure from Sat’s game from the student section I was glad and impressed with the memo from the UB president. I would hope most of the students and fans understand their is no place with that type of vulgarity and language at sporting events. Also I am sure there are still many who like the one student who used the “It’s a free country and you should be able to say anything you want”, We were raised by our parents with certain rules and were always told that all of life decisions came with responsibility and accountability and to always think before you act and to treat others like you want to be treated. Sadly that has been lost in many instances in today’s world and at sporting events. Here’s hoping at our UB games we have passionate students and fans who treat others with respect and dignity. Go Bulls!!!

I do not understand how any college administration and student association would want the type of behavior from their student section at a game. If they are they should be truly ashamed of themselves. If this is what the supposed support of a team is coming to I don’t want to follow college sports or support a team. Hope that never happens at UB. Go Bulls!!!!

Wonder why Bona administration allows that??? You can shout a lot of things but does it have to be that type of language. I guess I am in the minority on not to use foul language. Go Bulls!!!

Thanks, hope Bona gets their injured players back and has success in the A-10. Go Bulls!!!!

Well said also Derek. Also being a fan for decades our family is enjoying the moment. I agree it is great to see our UB name on ESPN. As UB85 has said we need to appreciate what we are seeing and experiencing. In the case of Bona you can see what happens from one year to the next. They lose their top two players to graduation and the next year starts out with promise with returning players and the potential of new players. With injuries and players not meshing together right out of the gate the season can go in a different direction. Enjoy the ride and Go Bulls!!!!

At half time with the increased crowds the lines are backed up big time. One suggestion is to have more kiosks and vendors standing in the hallways selling some food/drinks. All that Iam saying is that UB has to react to how the lines are and other crowds and lines of fans. Go Bulls!!!!

A very good road win at a very hostile arena. Great game by Graves shooting 7-9 from the field and 5-6 from the 3 point line which has been where he has been struggling. With not good games from CJ and Perkins and still win by 18 is a testament to our depth and the maturity both mentally and on the physical side. Harris starting to shoot better 7-14 and 3-7 from 3”s. Good to see both Williams and Segu play 19 minutes with 9 points and with no turnovers or fouls between them. I agree UB85 that you play and give 100%, that when you win you show humility and if you lose you show grace and dignity. That should be for both the players and the fans. Go Bulls!!!!

Agree! We have had a chance to talk to him several times and seems like a down to earth guy who was sincerely interested in our opinions. Go Bulls!!!!!

This should be a very exciting game for all involved. This UB team does seem to have a different mental makeup from the last few years. They have been battle tested the last few years and have been in tough games on the road. As long as they keep their composure and play their game we should be successful. Go Bulls!!!!

Do agree that any game against one of the Big 4 has a different feel no matter what the records are of the teams. We have went to most of the Big 4 games over the years and for the most part just the buzz of the crowds are different. It has been just an enjoyable time to be a local college basketball fan in spite of where your allegiance is. Go Bulls!!!!

Also thanks for the post. It good for all of WNY if we have all other teams have successful seasons and are able to see great games. You can still have allegiance and total support for one team and still enjoy quality basketball. We can still all have our opinions without getting into sarcastic comments. As far as our family we are happy that local college basketball is relevant again.Go Bulls!!!!

Again bringing back wonderful memories of great players. Hope years from now fans will be talking about some of the great UB players and share their memories of seeing great basketball. Go Bulls!!!!
