DocCas86 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Here is what I am looking for tonight as keys to UB win - Keep turnovers down to around 11/12, Shoot well from FT line - if this figures to be a close game - 2 missed free throws could be difference. Help on interior defense - limit easy opportunities. Continue to work for offensive rebounds - second chance points may be the difference of a few points in a close game. Looking to end OOC with a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like it might be fun. Doesn’t really seem like work. I know there are two pre game parties for Bona fans so your hopes of not having many of us there might not come through. I think you will see a very close game. Bona is extremely young. They have won 7 in a row, but are inconsistent. If the good Bonnies show up I think we finish the decade 8-2 versus UB. If the so-so Bonnies show up I think we finish the decade 7-3. I think if the lousy Bulls show up, we still win 85-75. Dont start none wont be none. We don't bring ready made excuses, just attitude! lol Edited December 30, 2019 by blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to end OOC with a win. I doubt that #1 happens, we play too fast and loose against a good team like Bona. Hopefully not too far above that number though! # 2 seems reasonable, but they will miss FT during the game, just need to shoot a solid % as a unit. #3 Must happen or else it'll be big time trouble. Some games it does, some games it doesn't. #4 has been pretty solid this season. I don't see why it wouldn't happen tonight. I'm betting on a 5 point win in a hard fought contest by both squads.

Ubbulls84 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We need both Jordan and Graves to have good games tonight. Graves has had some mediocre games and can not afford to tonite if we going to win. Hopefully jeenathan can have another good game, he’s shown signs, just need consistency now. Hope Mballa stays out of foul trouble, as long as he stays out there he’s gonna be big on the boards. Will Johnson ever have a good game scoring the ball again? 32% from the field is straight embarrassing for a Senior with his experience. We are 13 games in, there is no excuse.

BrooklynBull Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 My key to the game is to score more points that St. Bonaventure. If we do then we will win. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasketBull Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Brock Bertram is warming up with the team and looks ready to go. Fagan is wearing pants and not practicing. Dominic Johnson is on the sideline with the team in his leg brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 13 games in, there is no excuse. I totally agree, he needs to show up tonight. If he doesnt pull more offensive weight Id prefer he comes off the bench and we start Mballa, Hardnett, and Williams together, when our bigs are healthy.

Kevin Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Another game, another game where the team doesn't play any team defense. Antwain Johnson already jacking shots and turning the ball over. Three turnovers in the first 4 minutes makes me wonder if they even practice ball security at all Edited December 31, 2019 by Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubbulls08 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Johnson is playing terribly. Please put Grant in. At least he has length. Johnson is too small for this A-10 matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnroxkers Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 This is the most humiliating effort I’ve ever seen on a D1 court. I know these kids don’t make money but they might be overpaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnroxkers Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 A lot of these kids should look in the mirror and ask themselves whether humiliating themselves on a D1 basketball court is really how they want to spend their lives.
