    Congrats to BB on her first MAC tourney win.  Didn’t get to watch any of it but looking at the final boxscore it seems we didn’t get the short end of the stick with officiating with 16/22 FT’s vs only 9/12 for BG?

    Good 3P shooting (8/18) by UB vs bad for BG (5/27) seemed to be the big difference in this one.  Watson leading the way with 24 pts including 4/8 from 3.  By the end of this thing she may have MAC coaches thinking twice about their POY votes.

    Keep it rolling Bulls! 🤘

    Funny when you watch the games, it didn't feel the way the stats say.

    BeatWestern says you guys pulled hard for us. 

    The pleasantries aside, hope we kick your a$$ on Sept 14.

    Welcome aboard. Happy to have a fellow flagship school join.

    Another win for Arkansas State today. That's 5 in a row and 7 of 8 to get them to 15-14 (10-6) overall and up to 136 in KenPom.

    For comparison, this is where UB finished each season under Jim Whitesell:

    • 2020: 148
    • 2021: 77
    • 2022: 130
    • 2023: 211

    Remember all the comments about Hodgson being out of control, not knowing the x's and o's and not being mature enough to be a head coach... All he's done in his first year is guide a historically weak program to a 151 spot improvement in their KenPom ranking and taken them from a 4-14 Sun Belt record to 10-6.

    For perspective on Arkansas State, this is where they finished in KenPom the last six years:

    • 2018: 281
    • 2019: 254
    • 2020: 206
    • 2021: 252
    • 2022: 181
    • 2023: 287

    Hodgson knows how college basketball operates. It's a shame UB's athletic director put his pride above improving the program.

    Not to defend Alnutt but keep in mind the difference in academic requirements between SUNY and Ark St. 

    And was it pride or being turned off by the attitude displayed by Hodgson when Oats left?

    On ESPNU right now Arkansas State is having a party beating top of conference Troy with the Barstool jesters in attendance. It's not quite the atmosphere we had in the best Oats years, but click it on if you want to see what a mid-major school having fun looks like. Oh and they sell the devil's brew too.

    Not gonna lie, I'm jealous and so are the UB STHs I'm texting with.

    Watching the game too. Troy fought back to make it close. That gym is rocking on a Thursday night. I don't recall Alumni ever being that pumped. That's college ball.

    What did Allen Greene do here as Athletic Director to show success before getting hired at Auburn? 

    Good point. All Allnut has to say is 'SUNY didn't give me the resources to do my job.' 

    FYI the St.Louis Dispatch has Allnut high on their list.

    But doesn’t he have to show success at Buffalo to be even considered?

    In reality, he’s trending more to get fired than to get promoted in my opinion. So people bringing him up for this role just doesn’t make any sense.

    Well don't say that too loud. We want Missouri to take him off our hands.

    To be honest, if I ever have to choose what to invest in as far as season tickets go I’d probably only choose women’s basketball. Football funnels all of the school’s money into nothing, and MBB shows minimal promise and they always seem depressed. WBB, even when they struggled severely last year, always showed energy and spirit. I can get behind that culture. 

    I've often wondered if UB were to go all-in on any sport it should be women's basketball. It takes less money to become a major program.
