It's was actually near capacity, but no students because school is still out. I guess older fans are too laid back. Edited January 9, 2019 by PromoTheRobot

Although he only goes to a handful of games, I'm pretty sure he has season tickets for the Sabres as well. As for UB....WOW! That was a statement to the MAC, get ready. If this team is clicking, they can beat anyone. Harris is a big key, he has struggled to start the season, nice to see him come up big. Edited January 9, 2019 by ricojes

Yeah, Toledo was supposed to be THE team that was going to challenge UB in the MAC. Maybe not so much. Still, 20 more games to go, including the conference tournament. Plenty of chances to have an off night or slip up. And don't forget the wild card of MAC officiating.
eball Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 That was certainly a "statement" win by UB last night. I'm not being glib -- will they lose again before the NCAA tourney? I don't see anyone in the MAC truly challenging them.

I think they will. When they struggle, they really struggle. They will get some ugly wins, but I think they'll have at least have one bad loss. Plus everyone will be gunning for them. I just hope it doesn't come the tournament, I have no faith in the NCAA handing out an at large bid to a MAC team. Edited January 9, 2019 by ricojes

This UB team already has several quality wins and if they only lose one in conference play they'll still be ranked. I have no doubt they'll be a 5 or 6 seed in the NCAA tourney.

It's been 20 years, if there is a team that can break the drought, it should be this one. But let's just hope they win the tourney... Dating to 2000, the MAC has had 10 teams finish with an RPI ranking in the top 60 and not receive an at-large bid. Five of those teams were rated no worse than 46 — Kent State was 36th in 2000, Miami was 40th in 2005, Buffalo was 46th in 2005, Toledo was 36th in 2014, and Akron was 34th in 2016.
