Jeseph Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 WMU comes to Alumni sitting at 2-3 in MAC play but beat Kent and have been in every game except for a 15pt loss in Akron. Can't say that I've watched them play but Flowers scores 18+ a game and over the years Bulls teams have been susceptible to big games for individual players. Hope to see our defensive trend of-late continue as wins are going to get harder to come by when we play some of the top of the conference.

DooleyBull06 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Two things we have to guard against...1) a letdown after 3 straight wins and 2) overlooking the opponent with Kent State looming on Friday. We’ve seen clunkers at home against lesser opponents, this will be as much a mental test as anything. Good barometer of how far we’ve come in that regard.

dutchcountry7 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just play the game as a unit and they will roll to a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 They (WMU) just beat Kent, so I doubt they feel like the worst team in the MAC... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 1 hour ago, Erie County said: They are by far the worst team in the MAC (245th KenPom) They are at home. It should be a 10+ point win. Some of the worst games of the season have been at home though (Dartmouth, Army, NIU, Ohio). I almost wish this was on the road in front of no fans. Hope to see a home game where they come out with intensity on both ends of the floor and don’t get down mentally if they start missing shots. Their losses at home were the result of poor offensive flow with a lot of one player trying to do it all along with lack of communication on the defensive end. Looks like they have improved on both fronts and hope to see a dominating effort against WMU. Go Bulls!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats are great for all of the fans to talk about before the game. In many cases stats don’t tell the whole story. That’s why they play the game. From one game to the next you don’t know how any player is going to perform. That’s the great aspect of sports. Go Bulls!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past couple years the team met with a ‘coach’ for that from time to time. I haven’t heard anything about that partnership this year, and wonder if he’s still involved.

If it's the same guy that I'm thinking of, he's definitely at Bama now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure he got a huge pay bump!!!! Does anyone know if UB has anyone helping the team especially with us being short a coach also. Go Bulls!!!!

Whitesell playing his C lineups right now, weird. Doesn't help that the refs are calling a foul every minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubbulls84 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) God the officiating is horrible, western player was out of bounds on last possession and then passed it to guy who got blocked clearly.
