Awesome tournament win for Blue Collar U!  Next summer I gotta get to Buffalo for the regional!

I was able to watch most of it.  Blue Collar U dominated them.  It's fun seeing these guys play together.  Wish we could roll back to the Nate Oats days at Buffalo!  

Points Against Buffalo in the Second Half (all losses)

Miami (Ohio) 58

Akron 54

Toledo 45

These were all games Buffalo had a lead or were tied at the half.  That's poor coaching as the team isn't executing whatever game plan there is at the end of these games.  

When your team is picked to win the MAC by everyone but one coach and then you go cold for the last 8 minutes and get blown out in the second half for the umpteenth time this season...it's a coaching problem.  Jim Whitesell problem.

I was too cheap to reinstate my ESPN+.  What happened at the end.  Did Old Dominion miss the extra point or fail at the two point conversion?

Okay then. I guess we'll sit on our hands until the death rates increase.

The death rates will increase amongst the stubborn who choose the risk of Covid-19 over getting vaccinated.  It's not a fully vaccinated person's job to protect the unvaccinated.  

I wanted to go to a game but I saw in the fine print on the UB website that they are going to enforce a mask mandate for vaccinated individuals at outdoor events such as football games.  Guess I'll watch on ESPN.

Williams is a total no show tonight.  I thought he was really putting it together but isn't really putting in the effort in the championship game.

I remember the 2005 MAC Championship when Buffalo had a 20 point lead at the half (I think).  Ohio got back in that game by pressing on each Buffalo possession.  Witherspoon hadn't prepared for that apparently.  Maybe we can press the 2nd half but Whitesell is just slightly higher energy than Witherspoon.

Darn, I was looking forward to defeating Gannon again like I did back in 1986! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganon 😃

Go Bulls!  That was a great win...I didn't even get nervous 😀

THis is pathetic: if you stream last year's selection, why not this year's?

Big mistake by the Comm team. I'm miffed.

 

They were live streaming on Facebook but the feed stopped working apparently.  CBS is doing a live looking when they announce our seed.

Looks like it just came back on.

So who do we want NIU or BGSU?

I want to beat NIU.  We play very poorly in their gym.  I think the gray floor painted Huskies messes with our guys.  NIU is the only team in the conference UB has not beaten this season.  

Why was Perkins on the bench the last couple of minutes?  We arent hitting 3's.  He has 1 personal foul.  He should be in there.

It’ll have to be next year for Reggie. I really thought he had a great chance this year. The MAAC was weak and every team seemingly was sitting on top of the conference standings at one point or another during the year only to lose and fall off the pace. The Griffs laid an egg. They were down by 10 at half, got it down to 3 with the momentum in the second half only to see Monmouth go on a 8 zip run. Was never close after that. I would have liked to see Reg call a TO before it got away from them but he only had two left with 8-9 minutes to go. 

That's typical Reggie.  He never knew when to call a time out.  I watched most of the game.  He should have used one after the Monmouth lead got above 3 again.  Instead he used one at about 4:25 which was right before the under 4 time out.  By the time he used them the game was basically over.  He was also sitting when he should have been up talking motivating his players.  But there is a reason Reggie has never won the big game and Oats has.

It was a knee to the head from Graves.  He sat out the rest of the game as a precautionary measure.

MAC regular season champs! It was ugly but it’s a win. Harris...hope this is his awakening. I had the game on mute anyone know what happened to Jordan?

Going forward we need to play better defense and cut to dribbling ourselves into the sideline and turning it over. Same ole story right. Come home boys a big party awaits.

On the radio broadcast Whetzel said that Jordan hit his head on the court.  But on the Espn+ it looked like he hit his head against another players leg.  But I didnt get a great look at it on the app.

Anyone in the MAC can beat anyone on any given night. Really good teams lose in conference, esp on the road, because teams know each other so well and can gameplan. Plus Ohio had nothing to lose. Much different feeling as a player when you really can't lose the game. UB tense at times and it showed.

It was a gritty win tonight.  UB wasn't terrible but they didnt put the hammer down when they built the lead to 12.  Curruthers wasn't good tonight.  It was good to see Harris make that 3 and the 2 point jumper down the stretch.  #1 seed, in any other conference that probably means more than a quarterfinal game.  We'll probably wind up with NIU.  We play better against them away from their gray floor.

Carruthers is a turnover robot

He needs to take the shot instead of trying to throw a blind pass behind himself.

How was that a shooting foul for Ohio at the end of the first half?  It didnt look like the Ohio player was in the act of shooting and Buffalo only had 5 team fouls.

Mine is lined up so far.  I'll see if it works still coming out of the commercial break.  I'm using the TuneIn Radio App.

This woman's voice is rough to listen to.  At least Michael Reghi isnt there tonight.
