DocCas86 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 What are folks' perspective of adding a game with Colgate? They already have a number of OOC games scheduled so not looking likely..but I think it could be a fun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the 144 countdown has us at #87 Colgate would be a great matchup, kind of like when we played Harvard. Looking over D2, we host Mercyhurst in an exhibition on Dec 10.

mikescherrer8 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/19696 Buffalo coming in at #87. Lower than previously as we were #76 on last years list. I think this team is going to be better than last years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 A game I would like to see, and some may not be for it. Going up against Rick Pitino’s Iona team. They are probably going to be the best team in the MAAC. They are returning a lot of great players and added a lot of great players. And I think it would be a fantastic game. Hate him or not, Pitino is one of the greats and one of the best coaches who’s able to get the most out of his players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already come to Buffalo every year for Canisius and Niagara. They would not want to make a second trip for a non-conference game, unless they get a lot of money. We have no reason to pay them a lot of money. They fill up their non-conference schedule for van rides without needing hotel stays and/or flights. If UB wants to play one game in New Rochelle, I am fine with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live down here, while at Iona Pitino wants to play games at the Garden, Barclays and the new arena in LI. He wants a strong metro area footprint. And as said he can coach and will prolly have Iona dancing every year. UB should jump at the shot to come down state and establish some roots here ourselves. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice seeing the Bulls in NYC area (a lot easier for me to attend a game) and would certainly be a good contest. Currently Iona has 9 scheduled OOC games including 3 games for ESPN Events. Invitational - so not looking likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBulls99 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 At the event tonight downtown Jim mentioned playing Canisius and St Bonaventure, not specifically where each would be played, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we are playing Bonnies December 4th on their court, and I’m surprised we are taking up Canisius so soon after all that happened with Malik.

Dabulls Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I’d love to see UB face Siena, Siena is my former school. I’d go see the game whether it’s home or away, the Times Union Center is one of the most underrated college arenas in the country 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 https://heatcheckcbb.com/college-basketball-net-quad-projections-schedule-breakdowns-for-2021-22-season/ This may be an interesting site. Right now they just provide current number of scheduled games by home, away, neutral, but will give projected net rank for schedule. Looks like they are combining schedule info from https://d1docket.blogspot.com/p/2021-22-docket-sheet.html?m=1 and barttorvik.com among possibly others. Currently they have 7 games which I think includes two conference games with Western Michigan where dates are known. Other games are three from Cancun Challenge, Michigan and St. Bonaventure.

RecoveringHillbilly Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The Canisius board says UB @ Canisius tentatively for Dec 18th. That could fit as the Griff's required KeyBank Center game as there are no events at the arena that day. Another good projection for us https://staringatthefloorboards.wordpress.com/2021/08/12/mac-2021-22-season-preview/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same day as the MAC Championship game in Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
