  1. This board is insufferable now. Used to be fun but the program’s success has brought nothing but a bitch fest unless we win by 20 every game. I don’t want to be mellow dramatic so I’m not going to start my own thread but I’m done here. I’ll keep rooting for the team and our players, just without the company of miserable posters. Horns up, always.
  2. Thats par for the course here. I wish they didn’t stretch the lead in the last couple minutes but other than that it was a decent half. Just need more shots to fall
  3. In what way? 2 more 3 pointers and it’s tied. They had some wide open looks, Williams does not go 0-3 on those often. Jack missed a wide open one as well. What did Whitesell do specifically that you take issue with?
  4. We have to start making shots, simple as that. Nothing really sticks out except 34% shooting
  5. You should be able to watch on your phone/tablet/laptop via the nbc sports app if you have a cable subscription with nbc sports. I think. NBC’s sports wing is a convoluted mess right now with nbc sports, nbc gold, peacock, etc, and none of them seemingly connected to the others
  6. Not our fault one guy bumped them all to the top from last year lol. I’d love to play in the A10 but not at the expense of football. I just can’t bring myself to say best of luck, but I do appreciate you being civil here 🙂
  7. Mading is probably the longest player I’ve ever seen in a UB uniform, his blocking skill is incredible. Can’t wait to see him develop.
  8. True, but Skogman is only a starter as of an hour ago lol
  9. Much better start tonight. Skogman looks great
  10. I don’t really disagree with this. I think I’m just more empathetic towards Whitesell and the job he’s done. No matter who it was that followed Oats, they were going to have an uphill climb. The difference for me is that Whitesell was able to keep the entire team together. I really doubt a different candidate would’ve been able to bring in better than Williams/Segu/Graves/Mballa, though obviously we’ll never know for sure. Year 1 saw growing pains, year 2 was an improvement getting to the MAC championship and then the NIT, now we’re in year 3. If we make the tournament we’ll have improved every year under his coaching. If that trajectory is a disappointment then I’m of the opinion that expectations were too high from the start. We’ve been spoiled with high major coaches in Hurley and Oats, and I think people underestimate the risk of trying to hire that again from outside the program. Look at football, Linguist was the best get possible when Leipold left and were still seeing major growing pains and have taken a step back in the short term.
  11. In a couple months we’ll have a lot more clarity regarding that. This is the year they need to make the tournament, I think everyone agrees on that. Just seems weird that people are throwing in the towel after one loss.
  12. Let’s make up for yesterday. They get a nice opportunity to quickly put that loss in the rear view mirror
  13. Last nights loss was tough, but let’s not act like it’s a wasted season because of one non conference loss. If people thought we’d be getting an at large they were kidding themselves. At the end of the season if they underperform and don’t make the tournament I’ll understand the pessimism completely. But for now I’m going to enjoy the games and not obsess over every speed bump. Even Oats 30 win team had their stinkers, I seem to remember losing to the worst team in the conference northern Illinois
  14. I think it’s highly dependent on how Whitesell does here. If we stay at or near the top of the MAC, make semi regular tournament appearances, and he ends up retiring or leaving, I would think promotion from within is absolutely on the table. If the program dips and he ends up getting let go, I think they look outside via search firm like they always do. I think all that is common sense, to be honest
