Or if they had been placed in the East bracket and advanced, the Sweet 16 would be in my backyard in DC. Getting placed in Tulsa and potentially Anaheim is a bit rough on the travel budget. Overall though, I agree it's a favorable bracket. Some people say Texas Tech is a bad match-up, but maybe UB is a bad match-up for them?!? Then add that with the women being in Storrs, but playing at the exact same time as the men. WTF. If you want a nice road trip next season... 1

If you want a nice road trip next season... yeah how about those UB Women? pretty cool. But if they manage to get by Rutgers they get to play 30-win UConn on their home floor. UC might be the only #2 seed in history to be favored to win the tournament. Making the Sweet-16 this year would require the upset of the century in WBB.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 At least some Buffalo sports do well. i know the Bills will be good but not sure about the Sabres. Go UB !!!

I think they are a bad matchup for ASU. The Sun Devils are careless with the ball & UB strives on getting buckets & open looks in transition. Texas Tech will be a tough matchup as their defense is very good but it is definitely a winnable game. That would be great if they make it to the second weekend.

I was getting worried watching ASU run over St.Johns but you could see them lose focus as the game went on. Do that against Buffalo and you're toast.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I think UB really needed this break. They were worn out by the end of the BGU game.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 Ja Morant and Murray St. just mopped the floor with Marquette.
teef Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Ok. I’m on the bandwagon. I did my graduate work there, so that should give me some street cred as a fan. 1
PromoTheRobot Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 Good luck...but DON'T play like us! Picking up more fans on the bandwagon. 2
eball Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 I didn't pick them to get past Texas Tech but picked them to beat ASU in every bracket. I mean, they just have to for so many reasons...
