  1. Fun game. Good announcers. Love to see Skogman and Jones hit key shots. Skogman is really fun to watch. We will miss Mballa in the future but Skogman is going to be a beast. Jones might be better than Segu in the long run. He’s certainly more polished as a freshman. Just has confidence and is always calm under pressure.
  2. If we win continue to win this 3rd quarter, we win this game. It’s right there.
  3. Make some noise for those of us who can’t be there! 🙂
  4. Won’t Prestley declare for the draft? I don’t see Ohio as that great without him
  5. This is a young team. this is a young team
  6. Nothing, as far as I can tell. Pretty near as perfect a student athlete and human being as there is!
  7. Mballa has to start. Bertram has to earn his minutes. He certainly should not vault into the starting lineup—especially if it means displacing Mballa.
  8. Completely agree. Want to see more Nickleberry and Grant over Johnson going forward. Great win, and FT shooting finally showed up down the stretch.
  9. Wahoo! 9-4 Baby. Enjoy these wins, everyone. This is fun, even if it isn’t as dominant as last year!
  10. Omg. That was terrible. The refs are letting these guys bear hug UB players
  11. 99.2 Cause that means anything. We trapped a team to death in the Caymans. Good win!
  12. Gotta credit the refs for making this game close. UB much better than Bona in second half. Refs really bad tonight.
  13. Just another weird comment. B-ball games aren’t over with that much time left.
  14. Johnson is playing terribly. Please put Grant in. At least he has length. Johnson is too small for this A-10 matchup.
  15. Serious question: do you think Cierra Dillard took a lot of shots? they probably have very similar career shooting % only difference is that Fair is in the first year.
  16. Great comment. Cannot fathom why anyone would critique a true first-year starter who flat out plays. She may end up being the greatest player ever to play at UB.
  17. I can’t believe that they didn’t realize students wouldn’t be here. Likely that Bona intentionally scheduled for this time of year.
  18. Hope to see this in a game very soon. Johnson was apparently the best player in practice, and his early tenure has been uneven. Hopefully both Johnson and Brock up there games in time for MAC play. One thing is for sure: Jeenathan Williams is growing game by game. He plays much bigger than 6-5, and is starting to handle the ball with a lot more confidence. Rewatching the last few games, it is clear that he is feeling it. Love his effort and focus. He and Segu are going to be fun to watch, especially in junior and senior years.
  19. My opinion is simple: you seem to fixate on a single player every year, and then harp on their flaws as a player. It gets old, and few people here appreciate the tone and the incessant negativity. There also seems to be a disconnect between how harsh you can be towards our players, and how upset you get when we call you out on it. There are plenty of us who get angry at poor play, and sometimes vent during and after games. I used to get so ticked at UB’s kickers, for example. In my opinion, you are held to a different standard on here precisely because you are not a fan only, but also a journalist or personality or however you would characterize your various roles in the media. (That is not meant to be demeaning, I’m just not sure what you would call yourself.) And I think this is a tough space to navigate for a long-standing fan who is looking to make a career out of commentating. In the span of one post, for example, you say that you are a FAN first, and then threaten to “stop bringing reports to this board.” Finally, I never said the work “personal,” which dominates your description of how I characterized your behavior. You’ve never attacked anyone personally, to my knowledge, which makes my comparison to a certain politician inaccurate and unfair, and for which I apologize. I probably had a few cold ones before I made that comparison. This is feedback from a consumer of all things UB hoops. Take it and do with it what you will.
  20. Trying to get him to stop attacking our players—usually one player per year—is not exactly asking for it. But it is likely a lost cause.
  21. Wow: you’ve spent time at practice? Impressive. Now recognize that Whitesell and his staff are at every single practice. They see the capabilities of Johnson and Grant and other players who will be critical to us winning. They are looking at the MAC tourney and the NCAA tourney. Grant is important to winning. That’s their judgment, it seems. And I’m happy to trust this group. I trusted Oats to play Smart—it was the best move. I trust Whitesell’s judgment over my own on Grant—and yours. Hardnett, by the way, is not the greatest effort player on the floor. And I don't think a healthy Brock is much of a replacement for Grant playing up to his skill level. Brock doesn’t rebound or move well at all, and he’s never developed a shot beyond a few feet from the basket Grant just needs to start hitting shots. Period. The rest of his game will give MAC fits, just like Nickleberry’s and Hardnett’s will.
  22. Grant is a good player. That’s why he’s getting minutes. But he is this year’s Smart for some posters here. No matter what, they will trash him and imagine that some bench player who chucks up air balls in garbage time would be better in the rotation.
  23. WE DON’T HAVE CJ AND NICK THIS YEAR, or a whole bunch of seniors. We are not last year’s team. Get used to it and adjust your expectations accordingly.
