As much as I want Buffalo to be knocked down a few pegs, we probably need them to keep knocking teams off. That will help our seeding That NIU arena. It's a killing field. Stupid NIU.

kreed5120 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yeah, in general Buffalo is the only great in the MAC this year, but there are still a lot of decent other ones. 11 of the 12 MAC teams are in the top 50% of D1 basketball based off of the NET rankings. Buffalo will beat any team in the MAC when they bring their A game, but that's tough to do for 18 straight games. What we saw last night is Buffalo played their C game and NIU A game was good enough to beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 NIU is a tough place for any visiting team. The place is like a big cavern with a strange floor and bad lighting. Throw in the fact that there are usually about 2-300 actual body's in the seats and it's easy for a team to feel like they are playing in a scrimmage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the end of the game, and it was like Buffalo was why they had to play that game.#14 in the country, all the attention, and there they were in DeKalb. Also, they lost last year at NIU.

Back when KD was coaching, I had business in Wheaton IL and had a day to kill so I called coach Peters and he put me on the gate pass list, and i drove out to watch the game and spend the night. I can echo your descriptions. I also stayed in one of the strangest Comfort Inn's right off the interstate at the DeKalb exit I have ever been in, and it seemed to be designed the same as the basketball arena!

NWAkron Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think we need Buffalo to win tonight at Kent. But if Bulls lose two in a row in the MAC, it will be a colossal fall from the Top 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Buffalo being ranked does nothing for Akron. Unless we beat them while they have a number next to their name. Edited January 25, 2019 by zippy5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Still best to cheer for Buffalo. A Buffalo win plus an Akron win tomorrow would slide us into tie for 3rd place in the MAC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 If we're giving up on winning the East, yeah. Not that I'd ever root for Kent, but a UB loss would make things quite interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Anyone see the end of the Kent/Buffalo half? I think the refs messed up. Buffalo drove the length of the court and their player got fouled going up for the layup with 0.2 on clock but didn’t release until after 0.0 on clock and he made it. To me he should have been awardeddd the basket and a free throw as the clock stops with the foul and he was in the shooting motion. The refs put 0.2 on the clock and called it a one and one instead and the Buffalo player missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave the shooter 2 shots because he was fouled in the act of shooting before the buzzer, but he didn't release it before the buzzer therefore the make didn't count. The Buffalo player missed both free throws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
