Donyell's boys are hanging in there. Had a big lead, blew it, and are scrapping to the wire.

hope it doesnt come down to last second free throws then.

 

[Matrim55]

YAAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!!

Buffalo hit a DEEP 3-pointer with 1.8 remaining. They're up 3.

Wow

 

[Jaker]

nice 3

 

[Matrim55]

Victory! Buffalo's in the tourney.

How's that for a great day for the Calhoun coaching tree? Ollie, Pikiell, Donyell.

What a legacy!

Great ending

Zippity doo dah, Buffalo wins.

 

[Matrim55]

Also worth noting: Buffalo return their top 4 players, and 7 of their top 9 next year. They also have their best-ever recruiting class coming in.

Wouldn't shock me at all if they're our AAC replacements when we leave.

Does Akron with a 29 RPI but a SOS of 126 knock out a bubble team and get a bid?

 

[Jaker]

He is not the free throw coach is he?

Probably not. But this result will certainly make our other friends in upstate New York have a more miserable evening pondering the possibilities.

They won't get in because their best win all season is against #82 Ohio. And that's because other than a curb stomping from Villanova, Ohio is the second best team they've played all season.

Their RPI number is a joke. All it takes is a quick look at the data to say "nope"

I don't think that's throwing shade, it's just a small-school gripe. Same type of stuff you hear from the likes of PC or Rutgers.

So you're saying that their chance of getting an at-large bid is zip?

Hey coach, maybe try not choking in your biggest game of the season. Mick Cronin 2.0 over here
