Turnovers have been bad but minus that three minute stretch it's been all good 

I'm not sure what I'm watching 

Tonight is the night! 

The game prediction on Bartorvik has.............UB winning!!!!!

Are those good numbers?

Obviously they look impressive but is it against top competition? 

Not familiar with the DC area 

The schedule definitely lightens up the next few games

According to kenpom today UB has only played 1 team ranked higher than 175 in country which was FDU and the first game of the season

Better that's for sure

Gotta figure out the offense, way too many forced or bad shots and too much confusion

Nice 14-1 run to get within 7 with the ball

Run a good set out of the time out and let's get within 2 possessions 

Why does it take a 20 pt deficit for Chatman to take it to the rim? 

When one mistake happens it's like an avalanche

Gotta figure out how to get over and past a mistake

Better than most if not all first halfs this season though 

First time out and........only down a point!!!!!

And.......have scored 10!!!!!

Per Ubbulls story

Maryland & Missouri State transfer James Graham is expected to make his Bulls debut after the recent NCAA ruling.

Guess we will see Graham. No mention of Adams.  Hopefully he returns soon.

How he plays actually will be a huge factor in my belief in coach GH 

Game day vs the Richmond Spiders

Current projections have Richmond winning by 20

The spread in Vegas is UB +15.5 

Have had some time off, hopefully they come out prepared, ready and healthy

Go UB 

The unmitigated transfers will be the end of college athletics and especially any mid major

Definitely needs to be more common sense rulings involving multiple transfers but open game for all is not going to be a good thing overall (education wise and athletically)

Only good thing about it will be the students/players getting the money they deserve 

The biggest issue is the lack of ability/talent/skill to score 

Yesterday's game really highlighted the current issues, before we knew it the bulls were down 20pts. It wasn't because Western Kentucky was doing anything special it was because UB couldn't hit open shots

I think the in game/practice/prep coaching is there I see the ball movement on offense and much better spacing than the first few games, on defense I see the communication the effort and defense switching from man to zone and generally seems to work. This is all coaching 

It really comes down to talent and were that falls on GH3 shoulders I wouldn't know because it's all recruiting and retention and a lot of other things very well could have played a part in this

Honestly what worries me the most is we technically only lose 1 guy going into next year and he’s seemingly our best guy. Not going to replace him with better. 

We get the mystery that is James Graham next season

But for real he would have been a nice add this season 

Iupui is division 1 they play in the horizon league - blocker starts averages near 30 minutes a game and about 8 ppg

"We're too small to compete against their defense, so let's just shoot prayers" seems to be the strategy this season

Going about as well as you'd expect

A lot of their shots are prayers from deep but they also miss an insane amount of wide open looks 

Wku stopped even bothering to close out on shots, it's laughable 

4-30 from 3, you're gonna get run out of the gym shooting like that

They have to figure something out offensively, if they could actually knock down an open shot this is a competitive game

Pretty sure the score would be the same if wku was only able to play in the offensive side of the court 

The offense remains dreadful

Have had plenty of open shots, but can't make them 

Can not buy a three pointer 

This is definitely a winnable game based on the past 3 games

Really like to see them play with the intensity of the last 3 which may be difficult since those games were against ranked team, rival, power conference team

I'm optimistic I think they win this one... possibly easy

Thank you, your description was sufficient.

I just tried it out for myself, as expected the higher rank is due to improved defensive performance. The team needs to keep that up and start making a few more threes.

Yeah the defensive improvement in the last 3 games has been huge

I think once Adams gets back the offensive numbers will improve as well

Overall I'm optimistic with what I've seen game over game hopefully that trend continues

Curious, is this something barttorvik.com publishes or you determined somehow.  Thank you in advance for the info.

The team has played better especially against JMU and Butler.  Hopefully they continue that trend.  It would be a significant step in the right direction, if they were able to pick up a win tomorrow.  I will be cheering them on.

You can change the dates of stats at the top of the page, it's in where you can choose conference/team etc. the dates are defaulted at November 1st to April or May 

I just updated the dates and returned just the last 3 games compared to every other team in the countrys games in the same span

(I'll provide screenshots tomorrow when I have more time if you'd like)

I never realized it had the ability to do this until I was boarded and just messing around with the options
