UB92 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 In a different year, we lose that game. But we have enough this year to get out of Oxford with a win. Did not have that last year. Graves has been such an important player this year. On a different note, they guy that Jordan trains with during the summer (that UCF guard who announces the games)...he needs to take Segu with him this summer. And...Segu needs needs needs to hit the weight room. Maybe if he was in a bottom 3rd conference he could get by, but he is in a top 3rd conference. He needs to get stronger to fight through on defense and offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s next year. For tonight we leave Oxford with the W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither one had to play a shred of defense in high school and it shows big time. Just hope both can improve. What is scary is not all kids no matter how good they were in high school can make the transition to college D-1 ball. Reese and O’Field are two and of course there are many more. Both Reese and O’Field ended up playing JUCO ball. Again it is nothing personal against any of these kids. Some make it and some do not. Go Bulls!!!

Looks like they are playing in a smallish high school with terrible lighting. Good for Spoon, though. Classy, smart, Buffalo guy. Good luck to him and the Grifs.

Also they don’t play very many minutes...8-10 a game if they are lucky. So not much in game reps for them. I thought Williams was good tonight. Hit a 3 and had 4 boards, 3 of which were O-boards. Their time will come and I have all the confidence in the staff to grow and develop them. Their weaknesses are easily correctable and coachable. I keep using Graves as the example of the kind of leap they can make from year 1 to year 2. I agree Segu needs to fill out more physically, develop a pull up jumper and run the offense better. And that both players need to work on their defense. I feel Williams will be the better defender in the long run but the talent is there in both of them. Their time will come and their best games are ahead of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubbulls08 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 We will be fine next year. Definitely a contender. Apparently a few of the transfers are really good.

I am guilty of probably thinking these two players would show more even with their limited minutes because of their overall status of athletic ability. We hear they are in the gym all the time and hope that will translate into play on the floor. Next year’s team is going to be like the women this year. A different makeup of players. Do agree we gutted out a win that maybe in other years we might not of won. Hope CJ is okay and a little concerned KitKat the last few games he has had ankle injuries.

sportscliche Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Kinda boggles the mind where this team would be if Harris was hitting from 3 like he did last season. Gotta figure the record would be 28-1 and ranking in the Top 10. I know everyone involved is trying very hard to get it sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeseph Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 I need to keep reminding myself that we’re 26-3. I get so frustrated when this team struggles because I know we have the potential to be a great team. Can’t take this run for granted, we’re 26-3! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottier25 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I still believe they are going to turn it on entering the MAC tourney and into the post season. So hard to get up for all these games being such a big favorite most nights. Starting to think Harris isnt going to get it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame them. They had an OOC schedule where they played top ranked teams then came back to the MAC where they think all the teams are pushovers. I am not saying it is the right mentality but, to me, that is how it looks. MAC tournament this will be a different team. I would say for senior night as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Canisius and Niiagara gyms are small with only around 2,000 seats. When both Niiagara and Canisius had their very good teams and the place was packed it was a great college atmosphere not withstanding both colleges don’t have any money to change the gyms. Kudos for Reggie for what he has done with this team without Reese but the MAAC this year is very average or below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Last night's attendance was 3011. Bumping Miami's average to 1649 so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrabukes Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I'm just glad we are 26-3 and 14-2 in league and been ranked for 16 straight weeks! This has been one amazing season so far and cannot wait for March to extend as long as possible. I assuredly don't want to hear anything negative from anyone about this squad or coaches. It's a fun ride and I don't want it to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s sleep walking Harris is now struggling with the other parts of his game also. When was the last time you saw any pick and rolls with him to get open. Teams know where is game is now. If he has a three and takes it than so be it. But teams now are fronting him with pressure from one or two players and he has nowhere to drive. When was the last time you saw him inside the key and take little jumpers. just so hard to watch but praying for him to turn it around. But here we are talking about poor play and the team has only three losses. Go Bulls!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players thoughts are more on their ranking and who they would be playing instead of the game itself it can get in their heads on how good they are. That can change both their concentration and intensity in games they are playing. Finish the year on a high and win their remaining games. Go Bulls!!!!!

But here we are talking about poor play and the team has only three losses. Go Bulls!!!!! I agree. Teams are gonna start to sag off Harris and let him shoot rather than have him drive around them like he was able to do so well against Arizona last year. The last two games I feel his minutes have been down (someone fact check me) and against Akron he wasn’t on the court in crunch time. Last night I didn’t see him hustle for loose balls and I saw him rush shots and his body language was bad. Seems like it’s gotten to him mentally. If he isn’t gonna shoot well from deep he can contribute in other ways but if he gets defeated mentally and checks out then he is hurting his team. We still have time to get him going. Hopefully he steps up and gets some confidence back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire17 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Is it possible for a shooter to be too deliberate? It looks like Harris is thinking “How do I do this?”. Then, ever so slowly, he aims and releases - another clanked shot. He can’t be as bad as he looks just now. Will he get it back? The added dimension ups the Bulls’ probability of going deep into the Tourney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrabukes Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Women's team leading by 30 on current #1mac team miami. Hardly any students (maybe 30 not from track or volleyball team), but great turnout from the community on senior day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
