PromoTheRobot Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 Overcame a dreadful start. Clawed back from the grave. 1
PromoTheRobot Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 If you don't follow UB basketball that close, Nate Navigato left UB at the altar and went to Toledo instead. His scholarship went to...CJ Massenberg. Thanks, Nate!

I had Toledo +3.5 and that bet looked great for most of the game. I could see why you took that bet. I read some betting tips saying it was the move to make. But Buffalo is a tough out. Last two years of conference play, 5 losses came from a combined 14 points. They are like a predator that doesn't stop coming for you. You might land a blow early but once they catch you, you're done. 6 games left before the MAC tournament, 4 are at home. All three Friday games will be on national TV. #UBHornsUp Edited February 16, 2019 by PromoTheRobot
JM57 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Refs last night were abhorrent for both sides. Expecting that matchup to come up again during championship week 1
PromoTheRobot Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 A big F-U from the voters, even after a tough road win at Toledo.

You think they should have moved up? That's silliness. They beat a team on the road -- rather unimpressively -- they beat by 30 at home earlier in the year.

I guess Duke coming back on Louisville was unimpressive too?

And there's the double standard between power and mid-major conferences. Duke (#1 KenPom) coming back on (#14) Louisville is a sign of strength, but (#24) Buffalo overcoming a 13-point deficit to beat (#55) Toledo (20-5) on the road is a weak win? Being #55 still puts you in the top 15% of all D1 college basketball teams. Edited February 19, 2019 by PromoTheRobot

Promo, if you're equating Dook's comeback from 20+ down in the 2nd half at Louisville to what UB did at Toledo, I just don't know what to tell you. 1

You got to forgive Promo he gets a bit excited & disoriented when his beloved UB Bulls do good, got to love his passion. But your spot on Louisville is a very good team & very tough at home. UB right now I believe is safely in the tournament & looking at a #6 or #7 seed. They could probably jump up to as high as a #5 seed if they run the table & win their tournament. Either way, I think if they get the right draw they could see the second weekend of the tournament.
