I for one couldn’t be more thankful that the TBT exists for that reason. To this point, I love how the university has embraced them. Maybe it’s because of the tragedy in Buffalo, but I feel like the school has been more behind them this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TML1000 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I feel like some euro league team should just sign all of these guys together to win a few titles in a row. You just don't find this togetherness and buy in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increased backing could be in part that they are a regional site next year But mid major schools should really take advantage of this tournament, its a great way to bridge top players/teams from the past with your current team Not to mention the tournament takes place during a really good time for schools to use as team building/current players being able too network with pro's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 That 12-0 run at the end was so sweet. Great defense to hold them to no baskets. CJ buckets 4 point play during it. These guys were made for the tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like last year the attention was on Nate Oats a lot. Which was fine. But this season it’s been more UB. Which I feel could help in recruiting and obviously national recognition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKBullsfan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I said this earlier and I’ll say it again, we need to find a way to get this tournament in Alumni and show off the UB Bulls brand. Fix the AC problem. This team is doing almost free advertising for the school and basketball program. Also, there has to be some NBA scout watching this that can see Perk, Wes or CJ can hang in the NBA. Hope they get an offer. Go Bulls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can hit the outside shot, bang down low but is a tweener. Has he ever been on a g league roster? I’m shocked if the answer is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love him, love to see him in great shape and thriving in Europe. I'm just not sure there's true NBA quality there. Grant Williams is the closest current NBA comp and I'd say he has better feet and a better shot at least. That being said, I watched the entire Arizona NCAA game over breakfast this morning. 😂🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he ever played in the g league He is definitely a tweener but he is kind of the deep bench guy teams are starting to go after. A guy that would specialize in certain line up combos (small ball or even a big line up) Other thing is I think he has gotten better from when he was in college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrazenBull Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Settling in to watch BCU play for the eighth time in a couple hours. Regarding Alumni Arena and AC, I believe they have brought in AC in the past for big events. Not sure the tournament will get the attention you think it will - unless Boeheim is in our region next year. Those games were far and away the most well attended last weekend in Syracuse. It will still be a good time, but the draw may not be enough to bring in AC for it. I was talking to some Dayton alums last night, while waiting for CJ to hit the final shot (there was quite a gap between the first 8 points during the Elam ending and the final bucket) and they mentioned that AC was only recently added to the arena here in Dayton. This place blows Alumni away, though. It's a true basketball arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Perkins has never played in the G-League but that’s because he makes a lot more overseas not because he wouldn’t have G-League interest. Same reason CJ averaged double digits in the G-League and then left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the officiating overall had been good and loose. But to me (and evidently the team based on Edric Dennis' halftime speech) there were a couple stretches of questionable officiating that killed our momentum and let Dayton and their crowd back in the game.

MKBullsfan Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Don’t want to think too far ahead but if they win this thing, they should put a banner up in Alumni. The place is called Alumni arena anyways. This is our Alumni team winning a big alumni tournament. Just a thought and don’t forget to retire Perk and CJs numbers too.
