Well, then get everyone you know to attend the games this season and be loud and proud, both at UB and in Cleveland. I don't want to think about failures with this team, when all they've done is had success thus far. The team is fun, enjoy them while we've got them. One game at a time.

How many of those years did we get all excited to make it to Cleveland, maybe win a game once arriving there? I appreciate the quality of this team, especially having watched so many games and seasons of less than top-of-MAC quality. When we first arrived in the MAC, it was blowout city, every game (and we weren't on the positive side of those). Now, we contend and excel every night. Enjoy it.

I don't anticipate winning by 60, but I just know that this team is going to come out and show why they're top 25 ranked and win by 25-30. This team is much superior than Canisius when playing on all cylinders.

If he lands at Auburn, I cry foul, big time. Ex-UBAD AG was at the game yesterday, greeting UB players before the game. That would be absolutely a bad look if it happened.

I highly doubt that!

I'm not worried about Selection Sunday right now. Our guys are 11-1 in the non-league, ranked in the top 25 in the NCAA, with only a game vs. Canisius left on the slate before hitting the MAC. The last 10 years of UB men's basketball looks like this: 18-19 1 loss (best win WVU? SF? Syracuse? Southern Ill x2? Bona?) 17-18 5 losses (best win UAB?) 16-17 7 losses (best win Weber St?) 15-16 6 losses (best win Canisius?) 14-15 3 losses (best win Drexel?) 13-14 3 losses (best win Drexel?) 12-13 9 losses (best win Niagara?) 11-12 4 losses (best win Dayton?) 10-11 4 losses (best win Army?) 09-10 4 losses (best win Niagara?) I think that pretty much any of those wins in this year's grouping look stronger than pretty much any from any of the previous 9 years, most of which were on the road. I'd happily sign up for this year's non-league. I, for one, have enjoyed every moment of this season (although I'd love to get rid of the 2nd half of #0 last night, that was just ridiculous!).

Agreed UB85. I thought the exact same thing and planned on posting that today, but you beat me to it (great minds think alike). Some people on here are just beyond silly when they choose to kick this basketball team after yesterday's game. They've played a very challenging schedule, many of those games being on the road, including a lengthy trip overseas. Sadly, many don't understand what it's like to compete at this level and live in some fantasy land where every game the other team is just out there to let us win. The other teams are trying to win too! The other teams are good too, even those who some people put down as "automatic wins". Teams don't go undefeated ever for a reason...it's nearly impossible to do! You could take the best 5 players in the NCAA, put them on the same team for a 35 game season, and they would be extremely hard pressed to win every single game. It's physically and mentally draining to play multiple games per week, including travel. Let's not forget, these guys aren't pros, they're in school also and have that, along with family, friends, etc. This team is great. Enjoy it. Enjoy the players. There are 5 seniors who all are outstanding UB basketball players. Enjoy the coaches, they are completely top notch and we are very fortunate to have them here. Enjoy the ride! This team is the best we've ever had here. Relish every opportunity to watch them compete (and they compete DARN hard every possession). Looking forward to blowing out our old coach (no ill will towards him ever, but definitely looking forward to the 25 point drubbing that his squad is going to get laid on them in their house) next weekend. Go Bulls!

Some fan favorites in this bracket. Calvin Cage was a fun scorer to watch. Definitely couldn't vote for Lamonte, although he was also fun to watch. ARob vs. Will is a brutal matchup for me, didn't enjoy having to pick one or the other there. Is #15 supposed to be "Darcell" Williams? If it's "Darrell", I don't know who that is, not that either hold much of a chance versus Battle. Nick and Jeremy give us the "now" flavor.

I'm glad to see that no one voted for Evans. When you choose to leave, you get knocked off badly in round 1 by a Mac POY!

Just like 10 years ago...I'm in.

I believe that the undefeated Ball State team was ranked 12th. That was the best UB football game ever! Hopefully this year's version eclipses it!

I found myself in the photo. Damn I look much younger there!

That game was the last game of the wooden bleachers. They were swaying back and forth the entire time, since they were filled to capacity. The arena was able to seat more than the current number. It was a crazy and fun game to attend! Idbihi went off for a career high, it was great. We were on our way to Cleveland, just to get beat in the next round. UB sent many bus loads of students/fans to the game, probably having more support than the local Ohio opponent!

Congrats to the men's team who finished 7th, their highest all time, including 2 runners in the top 25. Well done boys!

This team definitely overmatched Daemen, but they are clearly going to be a fun team to watch. They seem to really enjoy playing ball with each other. Great job by the coaching staff on getting that great team play on both ends!

You already know me, just maybe not my handle on here ;)

Who misses games? Not me

I think that the Bulls should do well in this game. Let's hope that the crowd shows up, especially the new 4,100 freshmen (hopefully staying past halftime!). Hopefully the pre-season hype gets the local crowd out as well, even though the final summer weekend may reduce it a little. 2 biggest things that need to happen in this game: - Win handily - that's always a given - Stay healthy - can't lose guys in an opener, especially against an opponent like this.
