  1. Would love this series to be a H&H each year. I know Bona wouldn’t do it now with so many other scheduling commitments, but they should honesty dump the Canisius series and opt for Buffalo. For the better part of the last decade, this game is a Q2 or sometimes Q1 for the visiting team. IMO, both programs could use more of those games on their OOC slate. Not to mention it’s usually the best drawing crowd pre-conference play. Niagara and Canisius hover around a Q3/4 annually and there does not seem to be much interest in those series any more. CC couldn’t sell out a weekend game against SBU a few weeks back.
  2. I'm not sure how I'd categorize SMU Hoops. They are not a top-tier program, but they really aren't a mid major either. There's no reason why SMU can't be a great hoops program. Dallas is one of the best and fastest-growing hoops recruiting areas in the country. Add in the fact they have a nice arena and great practice facility, and you could see why they have the ability to be better than they have been in the past. SMU spends more on hoops than Rutgers, Seton Hall, Dayton, Xavier, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State to name a few. I have to imagine SMU will be amongst those invited to the Big 12 should they expand again 5-10 years down the road. They have all the intangibles you want in a program, but for whatever reason the results haven't been there.
  3. Not sure what the spread is now, but I'd expect it to be <3.5. Holmes or possibly Quadry Adams will be running point during Lofton's extended absence. Adams is a transfer from Wake Forest. Does not appear to be an offensive threat, but very athletic and great defender. You could also see Linton Brown fill in more at the 2 if Holmes runs point. Brown was a JUCO-AA, but has played sparingly thus far. Was a great shooter in college, but has not found his rhythm in his limited minutes.
  4. I'm not sure what your definition of relevant is, but Bona got back to relevance in 2012. Have that sustained that? Yes and no. 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021 were good years. Same can be said for the Bulls. Making the tourney gets you back to the national stage and winning big games on TV throughout the year helps you stay on the mind of fans, recruits and people that make important decisions about scheduling and invites to good MTEs. Hopefully more NCAA bids are on the horizon for both the Bulls and Bonnies.
  5. What do you gain by posting something like this? You make Bona fans look bad and insecure.
  6. Every time I watch basketball I think of the injuries. Such a violent game on your joints. Hope he’s ok, but doubt he’s at full strength for Saturday. HATE seeing these young guys get hurt, however minor.
  7. Lofton leaves game with ankle injury. Did not look pretty
  8. Buffalo seems to be a good matchup for the Bonnies. Mballa seemed to outclass OO the last time they played, and I expect that again Saturday. Oddly enough, I think their backup big is a better matchup with JM. Lofton V. Segu should go the BONNIES way IMO, so it’ll come down to if they can contain Williams. I assume Welch or Adaway will be on JW. If SBU can hold Jeenathan to ~15, I think the Bonnies will win. If not, I’ll go with UB.
  9. They’re a tough team to read. They smoked Marquette, beat Clemson and Boise, but have played their worst games against some of the worst teams in Division 1. No idea what to think
  10. It's like the Bona nut that tweets at EVERY national beat writer to say Bona is NOT in Olean. Odd hill to die on...
  11. It really makes no sense. Duquesne, UB, Dayton, SJU, etc. all sell beer.
  12. Bonnies schedule for the A10 is pretty rough this year, too. It's early, but they could have nine total games against Q1/Q2 clubs. I'll be shocked if Bona loses less than five games in conference.
  13. The better you are and the more $ you have, the easier it is to schedule. When UB is scheduled to be a Q1 game for a team like SDSU, I bet they would agree to be bought if the $$ was right. UB obviously doesn't have enough cash to make that happen presently. That's why an additional buy game could bridge that gap.
  14. That is obviously the biggest part of the equation. Not asking for more road games than already scheduled.
