They earned that, no breaks, all heart, talent, and hustle. Of course this is a Bills board, so "embarrassing win" posts to come.... Edited March 16, 2018 by ricojes

PromoTheRobot Posted March 16, 2018 Author Posted March 16, 2018 Someone tweeted Sal Capaccio, an SU alum, that Buffalo is the new standard for college ball in New York State. That actually got under his skin.
Ol Dirty B Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Just now, PromoTheRobot said: What breaks? Before it ended up being a 20 point blow out, they had a couple lucky bounces and were lucky to get a couple calls. The 4th foul on Ristic... A couple of times they looked to touch it last before it went out of bounds, especially the one the ref incorrectly came over and overruled the initial call. The 3 that banked in from the right wing, the 3 that went off the rim, the backboard, and then the front of the rim again. The pguard losing control of the ball while the defense collapsed the lane landing right in Perkins hands for an easy two.... All of this was happening when it was a single digit game and I think contributed to Arizona just folding. I didn't say they didn't deserve to win the game.

No one is saying embarrassing win. 1

And AZ didn't get away with about 10 fouls in the first half? Just 3 called. Breaks are in the eye of the beholder Edited March 16, 2018 by PromoTheRobot

Their was nothing egregious, just the typical stuff you see in a basketball game. And they capitalized on it. They played great.

If that's what it takes to get you to leave me alone. They were letting a lot go both ways in the first half. Edited March 16, 2018 by Ol Dirty B

Congrats Promo, enjoy it! This is like the Bills making the playoffs. First tournament win. Highest rated team ever defeated, on national TV. This is a coming out like Gonzaga years ago. #UBHornsUp is trendng on Twitter. And this school has had no notable athletic history on a national level. It's incredible. 3
suorangefan4 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Nights like this don't happen very often when I watch sports

Seeing what teams outside of the ACC, BigTen, etc. can do is the primary reason why the highlight of the tourney is the opening 4 days. Give me all the UB, Valpo, Loyola Chicago, Butler and certainly URI wins you can muster. Edited March 16, 2018 by KD in CA 1

That must feel fantastic. My alma mater somewhat (spent my last year of five there) and grew up close, but you're a great UB fan. So enjoy it. Kudos. Edited March 16, 2018 by Kelly the Dog
