But with the extension wouldn't be back to a mil or more?

Not according to the Buffalo News. Rachel Lenzi wrote an article detailing the contract. 

Buyout is now 750K. Last year's was 1M, dropped to 500K after this season. 

Jeremy, CJ, and Perk were really close to double-doubles. That was cool.

Hurley is a good coach and if he stays, we keep Nate as top assistant, so I assume we'd be better. So yes I think Hurley would have performed as well or better if he stayed...

Bobby stays, we don't get Bryan. 

Or go sooner 

@Jeseph and I are here, plus one. Currently dealing with an access control issue at our corporate housing. 

I'll likely have this on in the car for the drive to Cleveland.

At Senior Night, they mentioned something I hadn't heard before in the discussion since last March (though admittedly I may not have been listening). The '17-18' Bulls were the first SUNY team to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. Here's hoping for a repeat performance this year. It starts today. 

TV Coverage: ESPN+

Let's get this show on the road.

Dude, this is playoff time. Nobody gives a damn about style at this time, including Nate. Again, if you think he would prefer to win the next 3 by 18-20 and lose the 4th game by 1, versus win 9 straight by 1, you're on drugs. 

I know what metrics are. This isn't the regular season, this is the end. Style means 0 at this point. It's all about winning games now. Nobody remembers how much the champion won by, just that they won. Get a clue. 

Eh, with all due respect, yes, he wants to win out no matter what but he also wants to improve their NCAA seeding, and to do that they need both impressive wins and wins that improve their NET, etc. He's said it numerous times in interviews over the last few days

Yeah, I’m only getting sound in my rear right speaker of my surround sound. It’s frustrating when the commercials come on and they’re normal sounding. 

Watching these ESPN+ games this year, I've often wished that there was an app that synched the visiting team's radio broadcast with the video. You could use the buzzer as a key of sorts.

I don’t love the announcers they’re okkk but what I can’t stand is the audio. Idk what it is but it’s making my ears bleed 

It's a mono source that isn't being processed right

Anecdotal, but I do remember Reggie being slow to call a timeout when we clearly needed one

Reggie Witherspoon? Never.

The ESPN app makes leaving early more attractive than ever. You can pop your phone out and keep up with the final few minutes. 

Hell, I started the video stream while I was in the beer line at the Ohio game. Only a 45 second delay or so!

@BullsFan14 called out the score to this one right as I happened to check my phone yesterday. I pulled up the stream in time to see Western's last posession and UB's time out at 1.1s. I think they practice these sorts of things, but that was a beautiful pass, an unbelievable finish to the possession. I saw it featured in the Top 10 last night on SportsCenter.

Interesting side note: when Wisconsin beat Michigan and WVU beat Kansas the students stormed the court...if someone in the MAC knocks us off on their home court be ready for a court storm.

Hard to storm the courts with attendance numbers like BGSU had yesterday. Granted, the game was moved because of the impending storm, but still.

Crickets here. Am I the only arsehole who didn't go to the game? Solid first half effort, hoping they put it away for good in the first 10 minutes of the second half. 

Here's hoping Dontay keeps his wallet intact. 

I find myself getting impatient each day, waiting for our next game. Can't wait for March, but have to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Here's hoping we drop another C-note on them.

106 - 68

This makes me so happy. I’m 5.5 hours away from buffalo but I really think I need to make it up for a game this year 

Maybe you just need to move back

By the way, is our backup QB playing basketball this year again?

He was on the sideline at Canisius, did not look for him tonight 

Edit: wearing a boot, to boot. Might not have traveled if he's injured? Right foot.

Does anyone here remember the foam spoons they would give out when Reggie was at UB? I loved that thing, but eventually the white piping came off and it was just a giant blue foam spoon with nothing on it.

That I do not. I presume it was before my time.

MAAC is garbage this year, Canisius can still put together a season.

The call a time out with 80 seconds left, down double digits was off brand Reggie.  Especially sending out the full court press afterwards.  Either somebody had money on the game or he's not letting up on his former employer.  Whatever it takes to get Big 4 hoops back to relevancy.  Steal the damn main street sign and put it outside alumni arena.

Calling a timeout way past the point of return is pretty on-brand from my recollection. No disrespect, I still somewhat cherish the tshirt I have with his face on it.

Close one at the half: Cierra Dillard 20 - St. Bonaventure 17

It's a nail biter for sure

Love 1:24:20.  CJ does a haphazard handshake to Boeheim.  Boeheim grabs his hand and says "good job"

I think CJ was caught up in the moment, waving to someone in the stands, and realized that he'd unintentionally been dismissive of Boeheim.
