Bluebird96 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 ESPN gives UB a 47.8% chance to win. Opening spread favors the Bulls by 2. I think we would all be pleased with that outcome. Go Bulls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Gonna find out these next 2 games if the team came together in February or if they just beat up on bad teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 This figures to be a battle of starting five. Hopefully our starters are up for the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Unrelated, but softball had five wins in February. That seems crazy good for a team in the snow belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper this figures to be a great game. Like you said, hoping for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the next 7:00 Toledo went on a 20-3 run. Need to avoid those flat horizontal lines on the game flow this time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An exciting month and great overall stats and in some cases not jumping out to all fans. They continue to win in spite of having stretches in games that are not pretty. A sign of a team not going in panic or frustrating mode. A very exciting time for both our teams with Williams accolades and for the women both Fair and Woolley in the running for player of the year and freshman of the year. Hope to see the biggest crowds of the year for both teams. Go Bulls!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clodney Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) More bulletin board material for Whitesell: - Despite winning 9 in a row, the coaches in the Midmajor Top 25 poll (which includes Toledo's Tod Kowalczyk) didn't think you were worthy of being in the top-25 midmajors in the country. You're currently "receiving votes" behind teams like Wagner (KP #141) and Bryant (KP #196)... - Kent State, who you beat by double digits and currently outrank by 20 spots in Kenpom, is actually #11 in that same midmajor poll. - YOU have the best win in the entire conference this year (by a mile!) over North Texas and still nobody thinks you can compete with teams like Toledo, Ohio & Kent. You aren't mentioned as a possible MAC champ anywhere. Edited March 1, 2022 by clodney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a wild guess what kind of article or write up in the buffalo news today about UB!!! None, Nota, zip!!! Time to start calling the news again and listen to their reasons. Venting frustration every once in awhile sometimes is good for the soul. Go Bulls!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Let's freaking go. Excited but definitely nervous - it's officially March and it feels like it. Agree that it will likely be a vocal 4-5k at Alumni. Although I have heard from a few friends going tonight who usually only attend when I bring them, so maybe we'll have a better than expected turnout. It's going to be an emotional senior night (for me at least). Rondo and Jeenathan represent the last of the Oats years and their careers here have unfortunately been greatly impacted by two years of covid. A tumultuous four years for them, the program, and all of us. I know we all want them to find some magic in these last couple weeks so badly. Might have to bring out the old work shirt tonight to help summon it. Go UB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big 4 Hoops Blogger Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) This is the first real opportunity for a lively home crowd since before COVID. Big-time opponent with something on the line on a night honoring the Bulls senior class. There’s no excuse for it not being a great atmosphere tonight. Kent State and Ohio were before students came back and we didn’t get to host Akron this year. Those all hurt the overall vibe at Alumni Arena but tonight should be different.
