Syracuse paid to have UB come in and stomp them

'Cuse lost by double-digits in a buy game tonight. Go Bulls!

Let's hope somebody else hires Nate Oats this summer.

Buffalo is no joke. They destroyed Arizona last March and gave the Squid a good game. Undefeated and #11 right now.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Oats is covering all his bases this year. I was listening to a podcast where he was describing how important the teams mental skills coach is. Hard not to like the makeup of Buffalo as a team. Buffalo is the type of team that could beat anyone in March. They have to be considered a legit threat to make the Final Four.

 

[Purple Stein]

This is bad for us.

 

[MDHuskFan]

This is also Buffaloes Super Bowl i’m Sure...

 

[Scrutiner]

Five of Oats' top seven players are seniors and unless the transfers sitting out and the two freshmen are ready to make a big leap he'd be foolish not to jump on one of the major jobs he'll surely be offered.

Boeheim hanging on for Buddy's four years ought to keep Oats away.

I wouldn't worry about having to root for Syracuse this year, they aren't a tournament team and neither is Arizona.

 

[Scrutiner]

Anybody notice how Battle seems to have a scowl on his face all the time? Every game of theirs I've seen he just does not look happy. Actually none of them look happy to be there this year. Maybe Boeheim is showing some aging issues in his coaching.

“2nd best team in upstate New York, maybe!” - new t-shirt idea for them.

 

[UCDaveD]

Old Dominion was a buy game too. 2 in a row lmao

 

[caw]

Good year to clear out any cobwebs they may have and enforce a tournament ban on the team. They are well versed on how to do this.

 

[UConn990411]

I know we want Syracuse to be a tourney team so that win looks better, blah blah blah. But I will never not enjoy watching them lose.

Also:

Said it before, but Boeheim will finish out Buddy's career.

And Oats will be gone within three years.

 

[intlzncster]

They're ranked 11 tho dude.

Did you watch them last March? They're ranked 11 dude.

Buffalo is shooting for a Final Four this year.

True, but Oats will be able to write his own ticket no matter what. AD's aren't that dumb.

And there is a lot better jobs than Syracuse out there.

I believe the good Dr. Was making a joke. Cause fans said our playing them was our superbowl.

The 'you' is 'me' in this case.

I could enjoy them beating Duke though it won’t happen.

Oats should leave after this year. Go to a blue blood.

His stock is at an all-time high. Not Brad Stevens level, but he's close.

Fantastic coach. Probably the only coach I would've taken before Hurley if available.

Agreed. And he has a team full of seniors. He is gone after this year.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Cuse fans turning on JB. That will go over well with him. And his son is only a freshman there. I expect him to be there until he graduates.

This Buffalo team has much higher aspirations than beating a weak Cuse team

 

[djct1999]

Losing a buy in game? This has to be the epitome of reality....i mean brutality.

Jim Boeheim flips real estate like he is in the midst of a housing bubble.

 

[the Q]

So what big 10 job is Oats taking this spring?
