I've had complaints about the WIFI for the past several months. Was thinking of sending an email to the ticket office to complain but I figured it just wasn't important enough and was hoping it would get fixed on its own.  I'm sure nobody on the staff realizes it isn't working.

 

It’s tough to work but you have to log into the wifi twice for it to activate and then you have to constantly use it or you need to log in twice again.

I was really thinking about asking the students for the chick fil e meal, looked so much better. While we waited in line our line ran out of plates twice which slowed everything down. The pizza was bad and small. I was also thinking they might as well not have done it because I felt less appreciated, not more. Would have been better to just do nothing. Also, all the tables were taken so we went to our season ticket seats. Maybe they should have just given vouchers to the concession stands. Though they really need to improve the concession offerings.

Over the past 20+ years I have attended nearly every men’s home game. The atmosphere inside the arena has often been electric. But as I get older (Class of ‘75 alum) I find myself making excuses for not going. Why? Like many in this group, I bristle that UB does not go all-in on the BB program, and I’m often disappointed in the poor showing by students. But in truth it’s also the cumulative effect of smaller things…frequent coinciding events at Center for Arts makes parking difficult, egress from campus is maddening thanks to Campus police, amenities in AA are poor (long lines for rest rooms and refreshments), and lastly, it’s time to dump this repetitive, irritating DJ concept… 

The food choices at concession are terrible. We know UB has some good kitchens with that new international pavilion. How about offering some of that?

Didn't we learn anything from DJ Ill Mix and the Swaggiest Bro-Coach to have ever Swagged? In-house DJ's are incredibly stupid, especially if all they do is play stuff like Cotton-Eyed Joe.

I did like the India dance music though, that was awesome

How about this stat for Armoni Foster, he is really starting to find his way. This was published by Josh Whetzel:

"Armoni is first Bull in at least ten years to be perfect from the floor with at least eight shot attempts. He’s first in country this season to go at least 8 for 8 from field while also dishing out at least seven assists."

Always curious how they get these stats. First he filtered to all players with at least 7 assists. Then he filtered those to all players who have hit 100% in a game. Then he sorted that by numbers of shots taken and Armoni is on top?

If we don't seriously turn it around I'm not sure what salvages Whitesell's job beyond a complete commitment from 100% of the roster to stay and build for next year. If any of them leave they should probably take JW with them. We cannot afford another rebuilding year. Our entire brand is on life support.

If we take another coach the. We are guaranteed a rebuilding year

3 total pre-game posts on ubfan, 25 fans in the stands, a 200th ranked squad... this is so sad compared to where we were a couple of years ago.

Early Jan games are always like this. Will be different once school is in session. Also we have a few hundred fans here.

With Albany and Binghamton in the same conference, it is unlikely they would ever agree to this.  They do not want to play each other possibly four times in a season, or give up a home conference game.

If we’re going to count Cornell as part of Suny then Syracuse should also be counted

Ok we'll uninvite one of the two of those schools.

Or just count their conference games as part of the tournament

I wouldn’t read too much into one game. Lots of guys have been sick lately/dings and bruises/etc. Who knew Jack had a concussion? It’s also based on matchups. 

I thought it was great strategy. It really threw the SBU coach off as he was clearly expecting the subs

The record is now even and will likely move above .500 against a sub-par opponent on Tuesday, before hitting a gauntlet over the rest of the month before MAC play. Fun times recently, let's hope it continues!

Does St John Fisher count? I don’t think that win gets shown, but a loss would?

So that they could give the ball back to Bonaventure. Should have been possession arrow for miss call

Lane violation?

Why was there that long stoppage in play during the foul shooting?

Anyone know how Reggie is holding up at Canisius? Are they looking to move on yet?

As long as he can keep the team in the top half of the league he should be fine.

Just because JW isn't working out doesn't mean that we can't get a good coach in, or more importantly that paying more money means you get a better coach.

We made a money decision to pay less. If we won’t pay more for a better coach but will pay less for a worse coach, we will see worse performance. We’re better off taking the risk on a higher paid coach than purposefully selecting a coach we know will be worse to save the $. Or let’s admit we’ll always pay for the lower performing coach and let’s relegate to a conference where that coach has a chance.

Buffalo’s only subway series. Canisius should’ve ridden a Canisius painted subway car to the south campus, next year we’ll ride a UB colored one to theirs.

Yeah, I noticed there is no guest internet and cellular data barely, or doesn’t, work there. Seems like a good place to invest so people can post highlights while there.

However, I do think you hit on one sad fact is that if they get rid of Whitesell, they will still have the low budget to contend with, so likely we find ourselves back in same place in four years.

If that’s the case, should we think about relegating to a lower conference? Seems like we won’t be competitive in the MAC unless we spend some more $$$. Maybe better off somewhere more akin to the old MCC, when we were there.

And none of his teammates helped him with his crutches despite Mading being forced to get up and walk over to where the coach likes to gather the team during time outs.

News flash UB Bulls basketball attendance tonight wouldn’t have filled KAC the so called high school gym to this UB alums. UB Bulls drew 500 more fans than the Canisius Golden Griffins basketball team coming off a 20 loss season and no hope with Reggie Witherspoon that most want fired at Canisius. UB alums need to look in the mirror a state school only draws 1,800 on opening night that is embarrassing. Don’t tell me UB basketball is special or it is Western New York’s fault. UB students are too lazy to walk across campus to attend opening night pathetic the blame belong where it alway should be the UB community sucks at attending sports events let’s just be honest with ourselves. UB the school is lacking school pride for such a huge state school that hasn’t changed in 30 plus years and I don’t see it ever changing we draw like small private Catholic schools pathetic be honest enough with the excuses shoulda, woulda, coulda well UB doesn’t draw. UB alumni arena should be sold out every night if there was any UB student pride which there isn’t in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo 

If you look at prior years, attendance spikes in January and February. It’s normal.

Looks like SI has us ranked 187th. It’s great to see us get recognized and special thanks to coach Whitesell for this.

Curious why Davonta Jordan only played in 2 games for a total of 12 minutes. 

Also surprise the prize money wasn't divided evenly among all the players.

 

Isn’t it divided by playing time?

CIT is now the Basketball Classic. It has expanded to 32 teams and no more pay to host. 

Ohio made the CBI. I’d imagine Kent gets an invite to the basketball classic. Maybe we do?

How can they afford it without pay to host?

I’m more excited that our Bulls are potentially playing again Maryland in the 1st round. I hope that plays out so I can call in sick and go!

CBI?
