961819 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Looking ahead from today’s big win over a talented Harvard team, up next we have a UCONN team that’s been looking very beatable this year with 2 unimpressive showings. Hopefully this win can get some momentum and confidence going with the team. Once we got out and running at a fast pace, Harvard couldn’t keep up. Go Bulls! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchcountry7 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 UConn is going to be hungry after getting knocked off at home by St Joes. UConn has some talent but they are not a good team. Should be a game that the Bulls can win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 UConn plays #15 Florida today at 3pm FYI. Their roster is littered with 3 & 4 star guys with size and skill. They start 6'9, 6'9, 6'11 in the front court so Nate, Gabe, Hardnett, Nickleberry and Mballa will be seeing big minutes. This is a talented roster that shouldn't be underestimated. I expect they'll be favored by around 5 on us, and I'd gladly take the points as I expect it to be a toss-up on the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubmae86 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 UConn best Florida by 3... Should set up for a good match up for us on Thursday. Will look like a quality win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubbulls08 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 UConn is good. And long. We will be lucky to win. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchcountry7 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 We will see where things shake out in the tournament but Florida and UConn have not looked good in what I saw this season. Florida and UConn could play in a rematch in the tournament as well as st Joes and UConn. Bulls can win some games in Charleston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubbulls84 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Uconn is gonna be tough matchup as they have a lot of size. Mballa going to play a big role and we going to have to be better on the boards if we going to have a shot at this one. Hopefully we can turn them over and get a little run and gun going. Should be a fun one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think rebounding is going to be an issue all year. Mballa is our tallest player when Brock isn’t out there and we feature a naturally small lineup. The key will be not be dominated on the glass. If we lose the rebounding edge by 3-4 boards you can live with that. If we play like we did against Harvard this is a winnable game. UCONN isn’t all the way back yet. Looking forward to this game. Another chance for what could be a Q1 game. My goal for Charleston...obviously to win it all. But realistically I’m happy with 2-1. 1-2 could be a let down. 0-3 I don’t even want to think of.

TML1000 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Judging by results so far this season, it looks like a very competitive field with no easy wins nor sure losses. Missouri State lost by 3 to Xavier, Towson lost by 4 to Florida, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) The winning path: UConn - Xavier - Florida (for first) UConn - Xavier - Miami (for third) With a loss: UConn - Towson - St. Joe's (for 5th) UConn - Towson - Missouri State (for 7th) Edited November 18, 2019 by Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGBull Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I am pretty worried about UConn's size. Then again, I was really worried about Arizona's size a year and a half ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promotherobot Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Don't forget the ladies start at 10pm vs San Jose State. You can catch the 2nd half at least. Think it's on ESPN+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubmae86 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 It's GAME DAY BABY!!!! Just got done reading all the predictions and odds from various sites and we are hands down the underdog, but not by a lot. I really am looking forward to this game. Hopefully this is a breakout game for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's on ESPN+. Looking forward to both games. As usual the Buffalo News did not even mention the Women’s game!!! They are off to another great start with Fair being one of the top five scorers in the nation. Shame on you Buffalo News and both my brother and I have already called the sports editor on no/very little coverage for our teams and with more coverage for high school sports. If their was another newspaper in town we would not read the Buffalo News period. Go Bulls!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese_66 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 UCONN looks really bad at transition defense. If we keep exploiting that I think we got a win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
