Doesn’t seem like there’s any credibility to his source- someone probably with a little knowledge just taking their best guess. 20 year deal?

UB05 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think that guy is just clueless. He keeps changing his story. I’ll wait for some news from one of the national guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be they’re hung up on the GOR or MT wants better financial terms to make up the lost CUSA exit revenue.

The conference is filled with Status Quo members, some are good at some things, none want to be great at anything. A lot of these teams have been together for decades, yet no real substantial rivalries among them. It feels like a group of buddies in a beer league, except for the fact many teams seem to dislike Buffalo. Maybe the new kid on the block or the threat that we could be considerably better than any of them. I am hopeful we reach that potential and jet.

Oh great… Another top team who will regularly be coming into WNY and not playing us. There goes the chance of scheduling the Ramblers OOC. Makes it even harder to win over local basketball fans. Really need to up the rivalry with St Bona and use that to boost interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt UB gets smoked by Bona this year. Even though Michigan lost last night and UNT is not the team they were last year, I was impressed by Buffalo's first two games and expect them to compete in all of their OOC games. I say this as a Bonaventure fan. Teams that can score in bunches will be a problem for us as we play such a slow tempo. You fall behind late, and it's hard to catch up. We have not looked pretty in our first two games, and like always, we have no depth. Get OO in foul trouble and Bona legit has no scoring options off the pine aside from Pitt transfer, Karim Coulibaly. Who knows what'll happen. Does good defense win out over good offense? We will find out soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
