Jeseph Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 TV Coverage: CBSSN (I have to say it's been awesome to see us on TV so often this year) Well, March basketball will officially be here on Friday. Can the Bulls continue tightening on defense and step their all-around game up another notch for Conference/NCAA Tournament play? ESPN's Power Index has the Bulls at 81.7% to win this game. Earlier in the year Hodgson said that this is one of the hardest places to get a win on the road. My assumption is that there is no energy in the building, hopefully being ranked changes that, I think the Bulls prefer a hostile crowd to a dead one (NIU). On paper the Bulls are significantly better in just about every category Miami doesn't have much talent behind Sibande, the Redhawks only have one other player in double figure scoring and no player on the team gets more than 6rpg. Defend, defend, defend and make FTs on the road. Let's finish out another strong week. GO BULLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB85 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This is the one game after our two game road trip wins over Akron and Toledo I worried about the most. Miami manhandled BG last night at bg. This will be a tough one. The boys better be ready to roll at the opening tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weareub46 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Seriously, we had it nice with a 3 game home stand finally. Gotta remember how to win in a hostile gym. Miami will be no pushover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again we need to play 40 minutes of basketball especially on the defensive end. Go Bulls!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd get a share of the title, but technically if we beat Miami and lost to Ohio/BG, BG would get the one seed if they win out (Kent/@Akron/@UB) Edited February 28, 2019 by Kevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent State is gunning for that top 4 spot while BG has been falling back to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeseph Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 I think the team is at a different level of focus right now. I expect a very good Bulls team to take the floor on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bull_trojan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 East of and including Athens, Ohio UB Men's Basketball was 22-5 in 2017-18 (81%) 21-0 in 2018-19 (100%) 43-5 overall (90%) West of Athens, they were 4-5 in 2017-18 (44%) 4-3 in 2018-19 (57%) 8-8 overall (50%) at Miami is the last West of Athens game we'll play this season (excluding possible NCAA games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the East trend. However, the Bulls were 27-9 last season, not 26-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsfanallyearlong Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Big opportunity for Bulls tonight. Losses by Top 20 teams ahead of them give them an opportunity to get back in the AP Top 20 on Monday should they have an impressive win by 20 type of game tonight. Hope some way some how Harris finds his confidence in his shot again. Would be a good night to do it against a team who is only 4-3 in league play on their home court. Go Bulls! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that stats don't lie but if we plan on making a run through Cleveland and into the second weekend on the tournament there is no excuse to lose any of our next 3 games. If we can't figure out a way to win games outside of our region there's no chance at making a run in March. Take care of business and beat a Miami team that we should be able to beat handily.
