DocCas86 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) The first glimpse into the George Halcovage III era. https://ubbulls.com/news/2023/10/20/mens-basketball-bulls-host-daemen-in-exhibition-on-monday-evening.aspx I figure I would get things started. Hoping Monday night begins the process to get UB back to the top of the MAC and ultimately back into the NCAA tournament. Based on past threads I guess the target would be three years. Maybe they wanted to make sure everyone on the team was mentioned, but I wonder the fact that they called out Graham is a good sign???

Georgia Southern lost to Augusta who is ranked #22 in D2, a little stiffer test than Daemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 20-8/12-4 last year and their HC has 100+ more wins than losses while there. Certainly we should handle them, but not a walkover if we don’t play well. Should be a good mental test if nothing else. our previous teams didn’t always show up for games we “should” win. I would like to see that change.

I saw them ranked around 100s, so they are a bit below Augusta at 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocCas86 Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I am going to be listening in. Look forward to the assessment of those who will be at the game. Disappointed no ESPN+ Edited October 22, 2023 by DocCas86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocCas86 Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Good start for Fulcher with 3 for first points Edited October 23, 2023 by DocCas86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hard to tell listening only - but seems like the first half went about as expected - some good signs, like Fulcher with 1 turnover and 10 points playing 18 minutes. Three point shooting at 4-10 was also good. Turnovers were a problem - but that is not all that unexpected. Hoping Chatman can stay on the court and show what he can do. Curious to hear other impressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to hear other impressions. I’m listening too, similar impression. It sounds like Boldin could be a bright star for us. It was nice hearing Williamson is showing things in practice, hopefully he can contribute. Fulcher sounded good on the radio 😂. I’m hoping Chapman is not a fouler like Jo Smith was last year. I don’t think we can handle much foul trouble with our limited roster. I also liked to hear that our FT shooting may be a strength. It’s been a while since we could say that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at Chatman's career stats - he has averaged ~2 PF per game - so hoping tonight is a bit of an aberration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 According to the UB MBB Twitter/X feed, Bulls lead 33-26 at the half. Would hope for a little bigger cushion than that playing against D2 talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
