El husseini has been fantastic. Great steal

She will be a big loss next season, ball handling, passion and FT shooting. A great pickup for BB, unfortunately just for 1 year.

A scary win for sure, but a win either way. Had a dismal loss to Ball state, but turned it around and got a win against an even matched team. Wish they never let it get close but it’s good that they had to find the fight in them, keep it rolling against toledo. There’s some revenge to settle in this next one

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.

I would agree with that. The calls against Buffalo, however, were critically timed. They call an offensive foul on Watson negating a basket with a BG flop, then on the next possession Rana gets called for a blocking foul that should have been a charge as compared to the Watson charge. We were severely out rebounded which was a big reason it was so close. There were a number of 50/50 balls that could have been BG fouls that became BG offensive rebounds. It will likely be more of the same Friday, but we can savor this.

BB loses her entire staff and recruiting class, somehow improves on both within 3 months, gets to a 4 seed (predicted finish 10th), FPOY, arguably POY(1st team at least) and a quarterfinal win. That is a pretty incredible turnaround.

Her MBB counterpart certainly has some catching up to do on all fronts.  Maybe put her in charge of building the men’s roster for next season?  😂

The kind of addition that GH III needed.

Really great win, especially since it was 8 on 5 at some of the most critical moments. I was a little shocked they didn't call Rana for a foul on that last steal. On to Toledo!

ESPN.com shows Friday’s game as a 10am tip.  Seems crazy early

Do agree. We made the plays in the last couple minutes and BG rebounding advantage was offset by our 48% from the field and 44% from 3 point line and the free throw difference for us. Just a gritty win and now to see how we can compete against a very good Toledo team. Congrats to the entire team for a great win especially when you can beat a team three times. Go Bulls!!!

That kid is a leader!! At every full timeout while BB and staff game planed before coming back to the bench she had everyone locked in. If you thought BB had some language should’ve heard her  talk about boxing out and rebounding🤣IMG_6234.thumb.jpeg.801401a33f8eae0182b8687244e25a94.jpeg

She has street cred on rebounding. If a 5'3 point guard can get 1 (almost 2) triple-doubles, 5'10"-6'2" people should be able to be better than -15 on the boards. Hopefully we focus on that before tomorrow at 10am. Language is overblown in this age of PC crap and hurting peoples feelings. If it comes from a place of love, sometimes you need to rip some ass.
