I see an opportunity for a game at New Era Field at the end of the season.

This guy! Who else?

Well, the voters will assume the MAC is overrated if UB keeps pounding teams.

And now there's a trail of successful programs in his wake. Seriously? You're going to complain about White doing a good job and climbing the ladder? Oh the horror!

The Bulls are so hot tonight they set off the fire alarm.

Which I think is a bad omen if we need an at-large bid. We're no longer Cinderella.

It's well established that the committee favors power conferences. A .500 ACC team will be taken over a 5-loss team from a non-power conference. Notice that people who were pumping up UB when we were at 1-loss are jumping off the bandwagon now. (e.g. Dick Vitale) The bloom is coming off the rose. Never assume anything is a lock.

I don't agree. Today's poll snub shows Buffalo can't assume anything.

I saw a lot of poor shots and dumb turnovers. Bravo for fighting back and gettng within 1, but the game was lost in the prior 39 minutes.

But half of the poll voters won't even rate us after a big Q1 win at Toledo. Bilas is great but the rest of the media are over Buffalo. We could go unbeaten through the MACC and we still might get voted out of the Top 25.

Yup.

I was wondering the same thing. I can get cheap flights from Boston right now but in a week or two those prices will shoot up. There's also a good deal on rooms at the Radisson, right across the street from the Q. Would be nice if the Athletic department released some details soon.

4th is still pretty good. Does he win something for 4th place?

I'm not complaining about the result. I just think it's unrealistic to believe that you are going to win 10 more games playing this badly. The fact they are still winning is awesome. But I bet if you ask Nate Oats he'd rather not do it this way

Well we went from beating teams by 30 to eeking out wins. All while shooting poorly and turning the ball over a lot. That's a bad 21-3.

This announcing team is doing zero play by play. It's all color.

We'll just have to fill the void. Frankly UBfan has been livelier than BullRun of late.

Dropping 2 spots after a win is tough to accept. Who's to say they won't vote us out even if we keep winning?

What are you talking about? We were #23 last week. We fell two spots after winning our only game. We did go up to 24 from 25 in the Coaches Poll.

If Lance had any sniffs from bigger D1 programs, the last 4 -5 games quashed it.

I think this latest loss will drop us to 22.

If we come out chucking bricks then it will be a long night. UB is underperforming shooting-wise. If we just make shots like we are capable of, we'll blow their doors off.

Oh come on, there must be thousands of UB alums downstate and in the island. Maybe they don't care that much on any given day, but just like in WNY, a winning program may rekindle some school spirit among some of them. UB has as much base in NYC as Rutgers, Fordham, or any other downstate area school.

This is just me pulling stuff from an orifice. Could you imagine this scenario...the Big East inviting Buffalo for men's and women's basketball? I know that they don't have football. And I'm not sure what other sports are in the Big East. Maybe the Bulls stay in the MAC for everything else. Why would the Big East want a school that doesn't really fit their profile, a big state university? Because Buffalo gives them a footprint in a region they used to have with Syracuse. It's also a quality program that's starting to get national cred. Plus this version of the Big East is young and trying to re-establish itself as a premiere conference. Adding a top 20 program, and a recent top 25 women's program, would raise their profile even more. Not sure what our deal is with the MAC, and whether a school can move one sport out but stay in the rest. Thoughts? Is this just nuts?

I hope the school tells Campus Police to lay off the ticketing on game days. What better way to turn off potential fans than tell them parking is free then hit them with a ticket.
