Kevin Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The second time that they've played in 6 days at Alumni Arena. Miami played UB tough the entire game. #4 NIU on deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 One things for certain, there’s plenty of tape to break down between now and Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rma Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Note that gametime is likely to be closer to 8, given the fact that it is very likely the women will play a home game in the 5/5:30 range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was odd because the last regular season game had #3 and #5 playing each other, with a game difference in the standings. The #5 won, creating a tie between those teams. We won, adding UB to the mix and since we lose the three way tie we dropped with a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivantheturrible Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I’m honestly a little more nervous about this game than I’m comfortable with. With UB being as inconsistent as they’ve been this year, it’s wouldn’t surprise me to see them go from beating BG on the road, to laying an egg against Miami-Ohio at home. But then again I could see them winning the MAC too. This years team just gives me some serious anxiety. Maction at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I some what expect us to come out nervous. It’s do or die now and we have guys who haven’t done it before...which is why Jordan, Graves and Mballa have to carry us. We go as they take us. And any contributions from others is welcomed but not expected. And if those 3 step up is eases the pressure on the rest. Let’s go Bulls! Just win Monday.

Line moved to -9 Miami being 1-11 on the road is helpful. However, UB is tied for the worst home record in the MAC with Miami and Toledo (10-6) 5 seed is 16-3 against the 12 seed - lots of close games like in 2017 and 2018 though. BG made a run in 2016 to the semis. 5 seed is also 7-10 against the 4 seed UB is 0-2 as the 5 seed against the 4 seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB05 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) IMO Miami is a better draw than EMU, and I’m also thrilled we avoid Ohio unless they beat Akron to get to the semis. Edited March 9, 2020 by UB05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Rest and preparation shouldn’t be a factor for tomorrow and Thursday (if we advance). Hopefully the team comes out with energy and focus. Now isn’t the time for a mental letdown. Hopefully there’s a good and loud crowd to support both teams tomorrow. Let’s go ladies and men!

No more excuses. Time to be better than 10-6 at home. 1 hour ago, UB05 said: IMO Miami is a better draw than EMU, and I’m also thrilled we avoid Ohio unless they beat Akron to get to the semis. It is, but it's a worse draw than #10 WMU or #9 CMU who we matchup really well with. Miami and EMU don't score, but their defense also kills us.

Also since the four five stats paint a slightly less optimistic picuture, thought I would post some more favorable ones. 😊. In order to assume 4/5 historical stats apply this year, you would also have to have seedings to always work the same, i.e the better team is four seed. This year, Buffalo is ranked about 30 spots higher. Per the following link the odds are 78%, a little lower than historic 16/19 (84%) for Miami OH. However this site gives Bulls 57% chance to beat Northern Ill. Teamrankings.com/ncb/conference-tournaments/mid-american-bracket Of course game has to be played on the court, so anything can happen which is both fun and frustrating aspect of sports. Let's hope they start things off right tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Miami settling a bit. They really bring their starters in off the bench, which is interesting. Meanwhile all the home teams are up near half and Ohio up a whopping 22 on CMU (this team sucks, they should be the 12) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
