Absolutely. Anything less than a 30 point win will be disheartening. While no game is ever easy, if we expect to be MAC champs, this team must start asserting themselves against weak teams.

This is getting ridiculous. We cannot expect to win by 30 against D-1 opponents, and if we win by less, be disheartened. 

This is a younger team, and we will be more like the 2016-2017 Bulls than the 2018-2019 Bulls. 

Let’s be realistic.

Hello Bulls.  Congratulations on going Bowling.  I wanted to stop by from Niner Nation and start the conversation.  Visit us at ninernation.net.

Thanks: how do you feel about the game? My feeling is that our RBs will go off, and we'll win by 10. We desperately need a bowl win!

Do not like what I have seen from Hardnett so far. 

Would like to see a bit more intensity and focus  on both ends of the floor. 

UConn is good. We look nearly as good so far. If we hit some of those layups we'd be up by 4 or 6 right now.

Gotta keep up the tempo in the second half. UConn much bigger and may wear out.

Thinking back to when UB players used to miss breakaway dunks. We would’ve killed for this team, let alone last year’s team!

UConn is good.  And long. 

We will be lucky to win. Fingers crossed!

Mballa is really good, and could be an all-time Bull, given his potential and size.

I agree: without Mballa, we'd be screwed down low. It would be nice to have Bertram back for a few minutes and for some rim protection. But Mballa is the best option on Offense down low, for sure.

 I resemble that remark. 

 

If any of you are venturing to Toronto tomorrow, I will see you there.  What is the guess on number of UB fans there? 

Probably a few, but I wouldn’t imagine there will be tons. Not a marquee matchup. 

If we beat Harvard, I’ll be very surprised. Injuries or not, this is a senior-laden class and they got a good coach.

if we are going to win, we will need a big game from an unlikely player—in addition to Jordan, Graves, and Segu playing lights out.

We miss Perkins most of all, even though CJ was the better player by a bit. We just don’t have a reliable, get a bucket down low guy yet. Hopefully one emerges this year. Next year we should have players who will have bulked up and can play against big D-1 guys in the post  

Smart was way more mobile, but didn’t play much ball before college—in case we somehow forget this fact we heard every single game. 🙂

Will the game Thursday night be streamed?!

The new site for UB sports seems crappier than the previous site, which is unfortunate.

Does anyone know if this will impact streams for pre-season games/games not on ESPN?

From a video on twitter, Fagan is on crutches for some reason. Not sure if this is relevant at all but figured I’d add in that there’s one of our forwards dealing with some injury. Need to use this last spot for some height desperately 

Where is the video?

If it adds anything to the conversation, my dad is an usher at our church and one of the people that goes there is the secretary in the basketball office and she told him there’s been “a lot of guys visiting lately, including one this last weekend”

We are now a true fan base. 

Texas Tech

Michigan

Not an easy bracket. And the location is brutal. Better for everyone in the bracket that isn't Buffalo.

I'm pissed with this, tbh. I feel there is so little respect for a team like UB, and it's what will cost us Oats this year or next. He sees the lack of resources and the lack of national respect more than we do. 

This is a crap seeding.

I guess. I'm just wishing we got Hartford. We would've had 1000's in the stands. Now there won't be but a handful .

Terrible location. Wonder if we'll have 100 fans in the stands. What could have been, had we won one more game in conference.

Gotta get their crap together. Fan bases want access these days. Feeds need to have backups. 

THis is pathetic: if you stream last year's selection, why not this year's?

Big mistake by the Comm team. I'm miffed.

I haven’t seen anything to indicate there will be. And I’ve been looking for it. 

Somebody @ the comm team on Twitter?

Will there be a livestream of the party at Santora's? I remember one when we got Arizona last year...

He's been next level bad. Not sure what to say about it. 

Bertram turned the ball over inbounding it. Wiggins is next level good. Re-effing-lax.

BGSU is going to be the class of the MAC next year, even without Wiggins.

Yeah, let's play Bertram. Worked out well.

Macrea is a great player. Everyone relax.

Thank god CJ made both, because I have less than zero confidence in our D right now.

Not possible. (By the way, I think it was India who gave us the zero.) And no, I am not related to Brooklyn Bull 🙂

He obviously isn't going to get the Buffalo faithful out to games if he says "Ha the Bills are an absolute dumpster fire and even worse look at the Sabres.  Thank God I'm a Packers fan!".  He has less of a filter than most in his position but he isn't that dumb

 

Was going to say something about how I don't know a single name you posted about, but looky here Matt Stainbrook!  That was a fun game.

"Stainbrook missed 'em both!" Great call by Whetzel.

Wow that senior ceremony on espn3 was awesome. We are big time. 

agreed. That was great. 

Anyone else shed a tear or two?

CJ is such a special person. I would hire him for any job, including President. We need leaders like him.
