PromoTheRobot Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 This will be the first of what will hopefully be several national TV games for the Bulls this year. PTR
PromoTheRobot Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 15:56 1Q Toledo-3 UB-2. (yes, a really offensive frenzy so far!) Looks like a good loud home crowd, though. 7:20 1Q UB-17 Toledo-13 Both teams shooting poorly. PTR
HopsGuy Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Uggh, not in HD? Bummer. Toledo is bad. Bulls need to finish the first half strong.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Uggh, not in HD? Bummer. Toledo is bad. Bulls need to finish the first half strong. This has been typical all year for UB. Slow start on offense. They usually turn it up in the 2nd. Halftime: UB-29 Toledo-24. PTR
HopsGuy Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Jeeze, the MAC is definitely a football conference. I just looked at the schedules/results of a few teams. The conference barely qualifies as a mid-major. UB won that tourny, but that's the only thing the league can brag about. Miami stayed within 5 of Dayton in a low scoring game. Hopefully the Bulls can continue to play well and earn the bid. I'm not sure if the loser of the championship game would get a slot in the NIT.

But they still get an automatic bid so I'll take it. UB starting to pull away 45-31 in the 3Q. PTR
The Poojer Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 they play quarters in the MAC?????? No argument there. Basketball is NOT the MAC's forte. But they still get an automatic bid so I'll take it. UB starting to pull away 45-31 in the 3Q. PTR
FluffHead Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 they play quarters in the MAC?????? The only quarters being played in the MAC involve cheap booze and puking rallies.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Wow...and it's only 2pm. Sorry, brain cramp there. Of course I meant 2nd half. Game over, UB wins 56-43, but an embarrassing shooting display. How often do you see a team shoot 18 for 60 (30%) and still win by 12? Like Hops said, the MAC is more a football conference. But I don't care if UB wins every game by 2-0, I want to see them in the NCAA's. PTR

They were very content to take then open three's knowing their own D was doing the job. I hope this was their "ugly win." Blech. But I agree with ya...a win is a win, and their 6-1 in conference, and that's friggin' awesome!

PTR Agreed....good for UB....I love seeing UB make steps in becoming a very good sports program...Saying that, I think I would put Niagara's MAAC ahead of UB's MAC any day in basketball....Here's to UB and NU making the NCAA's this year!

Well Niagara did beat UB at Alumni in a close game, and Siena blew them off the floor in Albany. They may wind up playing Fairfield in CT in the ESPN "Bracketbuster" game to be announced today. You can't control the level of your conference. All you can do is try to dominate it. Beats being the doormat of the MAC. PTR
