Big 4 Hoops Blogger Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 LINK: Big 4 Update: Buffalo facing first dose of adversity this season Hey guys, In this week's Big 4 Update, I address the Bulls recent loss vs. Bowling Green, where I expect them to land in the polls and why it's important for them to battle some adversity heading into March. It's never fun to lose but these games will help UB entering tournament play. Players like Dontay Caruthers have stepped up with Jeremy Harris and Nick Perkins struggling. If anything, I expect the Bulls to be a stronger unit moving forward as a result. As far as the polls are concerned, I'm not sure what to expect on Monday. Buffalo will most likely drop out of the rankings. Despite that, I still think they're safely on the right side of the bubble conversation with Joe Lunardi having them easily in. I address their recent stretch of games and more in this week's Big 4 Update!

121Merrimac Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Good for basketball in Buffalo, that Canisius is playing on ESPNU right now. Which player was with Reggie during their super bowl post game press report? Was that Reese? If so, I think problems have been brewing for several weeks now.

Take your pick for worst. Kent more talented team, but struggling with Akron’s pace of play and defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB85 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Typical Kent team. Face adversity and fold like a cheap suit. Walker was miserable all night long. They got tired playing against Akron’s defense and stopped competing. Meanwhile Akron hung in there. When Kent folded their tent they started dropping shots left and right. They’ll be fired up Tuesday night when we visit. Our guys best be prepared. But gotta win tomorrow first. Go UB!

Curiously are there any other sites that would be good for the conference championship? Indianapolis? Detroit? Chicago? Fort Wayne? Kalamazoo?

Indianapolis? Detroit? Chicago? Fort Wayne? Kalamazoo? IMO Cleveland is the best choice. It’s the most regional location for most MAC schools and most importantly it’s only a 3 hour drive from buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB85 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Let’s put the zippies and Kent to bed by crushing them. No worries about home court advantage then. Personally I like Cleveland. After all that’s where the UB program has made its mark in the last several years. Detroit would be my second choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 If UB wins the tourney 90% of the time going forward, after a couple decades, they could move it to Buffalo. We just have to beat the rest of the conference’s fans into submission. One can dream, yeah? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Love it in Cleveland. Short drive. Convenient hotels. Decent restaurants. Lots of breweries. Who could ask for anything more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
