Defense has played well. We just need to limit Buffalo to 1 shot per possession. Buffalo is killing us on 2nd chance points.

It's the 2nd half that has done us in all year on the road. Lets see if we have it in us to finish strong.

We need Riak in the game whenever Perkins is in. E-Man doesn't have the size to man him.

I'm pretty sure every point Buffalo has scored has come off an offensive rebound. Need to box out.

Combining our performance on the road with the fact Buffalo has won its last two games by a combined 70 points, I'm not feeling good about this one. I hope we can just keep it close enough throughout that we have a chance at the end.

Last I heard is the MAC has an agreement among its members to not play at an FCS school. I'm not sure if that has changed or not because it was mentioned previously that we were contemplating playing @Chattanooga to avoid paying the Arth buyout. I personally could live with a 3 for 1 deal.

Sure, I can see how it can be construed as an indirect attack on Trump, but the person I was directly attacking and named as a neo-nazi apologist was Liberty's president. Personally, I feel the issue is non-political. It was mentioned in the article that few to no prominent Republicans came out in defense of the white supremacists "are very fine people" comments. I feel the consensus among Republicans would be that the neo-nazi group is a hate group and we shouldn't be condoning any acts of violence they contribute to. The same would be true for any other hate group.

We will be returning nearly the entire team. We have a bit to go before we're legit MAC contenders, but we should in theory be even better next year.

If UA decides to add a trolling team to it's athletic program they should recruit the hell out of Zipmeister.

If anyone has tried to turn this political it would be you. None of my argument was based off of whether he was a conservative or a liberal. It frankly doesn't matter to me what political party he affiliates himself with. I'm a moderate who votes both sides of the ticket. I'm not trying to push a liberal agenda here. I simply just brought up a comment he made and my personal opinion on how I felt it would have a negative impact on recruiting. Others disagreed and that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

It's certainly possible to get the 4th, but the team I feel we'd need to worry about is CMU. They have a much easier remaining schedule compared to ours and I'm not exactly sure how the tie-breaker with them would work since we split the season series. I can see them going 3-1 in their next 4.

Akron is currently a 6th seed so the earliest we'd play Buffalo would be the finals if the tourney started today. All the teams are still bunched so a lot can still change between now and the end of the season.

Won't be necessary. I've already stated everything that I needed to in regards to the matter. I'm not sure how finishing dead last in FBS recruiting rankings is "well", but to each their own.

It wasn't my intention to turn it into a political debate. I try to avoid those discussions on the internet and hate when I see them on this board. I was just trying to argue that I didn't think Liberty could take the next step to become an FBS power. We can agree to disagree. Time will tell which of us is right.

I already shared a link. I didn't call him a neo-nazi. I called him a neo-nazi apologist. You can go back and look at the link I previously posted if you want. Either way I'm done discussing it.

No, it's how you inferred it.

Buffalo, despite winning, seemed to be not playing their best basketball for a couple weeks. Their last couple games they seem to have gotten back to playing they were at the start of the season. This is going to be a tough game to win.

Cheese and Utomi combined for 29 of our 37 1st half points.

Like seeing Cheese attacking early. He normally doesn't get aggressive until the 2nd half.

An important game. A loss drops us a game behind Miami plus they'd have the tie-breaker since they would be 2-0 against us head to head so it's more like a 2 game deficit. It's going to be a battle for those 4 1st round home games.

Those words were never spoken. Liberty has something like 100k students between their online school and campus. I'm well not all 100k are white caucasians. All I was trying to say is that I feel their presidents comments would negatively impact their recruiting efforts and that I don't feel they will ever be able to recruit well enough to reach a P5 level like many here are trying to say they will.

What's your point? Neither of those wins are all that great. UCLA fired their coach in December because of poor performance and are currently rated as the #116 team in the country. They aren't even good enough to make the NIT this year. Congrats, they beat Kent by 12 fewer points than we did and its not like our season is anything to write home about.

#17-#25 all have the same grade (.7000).

This is my sentiment.

We're losing because we're 6th in 3PA per game, meanwhile, 320th in 3P%. Riak isn't the one chucking all those 3s. Groce isn't Dambrot. Dambrot used his bigs to create offense for his perimeter shooters. Groce runs a guard dominate offense. The last time time a Groce big averaged double figure points was DeVaughn Washington in the 2010-2011 season. The days of expecting our bigs to hit double figures on a nightly basis are gone. Frankly, it's probably for the best. When the focal point of your offense is 6'10 and weighs 290+, it becomes extremely challenging to win 3 games in 3 nights.
