This place used to be fun. Now it has got all angry and snarky, and not in a good way. WTF happened to the boneyard I used to know? I"m thinking that you all miss SuzieQ and her calming influence. She was the lone voice that kept this place from imploding. You ran her off, and look what you ended up with. For Shame.

When your team is beyond awful for 2 years straight, people are grumpier. Better days are ahead soon.

I hear their (UB) AD is a Rick star - just in case we pass on their coach.

We were winning now and again.

You're right, what did happen to SuzyQ? So few voices of reason and good humor left among us.

Yes, and CaliChic on the football board. She's still patiently waiting for the triumphant return of Skip Holtz to coach the football team. Come back SuzyQ and CaliChic!

CaliChic was but an early forerunner of what was to come.

That would explain a lot. And SuzyQ should never be mentioned in the same sentence.

Buffalo built a real roster and they play with energy. What the hell was Ollie doing recruiting the garbage players we had the past three years....

I caution you ... and others ... let's not blow garbage at the Players. We can debate talent & we have. But the hardest thing to come to grips with is the KO coaching (particularly after 2014). I believe Calhoun would have somehow found a way with that set of Players to make MM.

And ... Nate Oats? Absolutely. He does look like a JC version 1990 2.0. That is classic upbeat positive hoop with defensive intensity. Beating a Big Name who was clearly not in the mood to work.

I agree - garbage was not a fair term at all. Just caught up in the moment last night. Watching mid majors in the tournament have multiple guys with + skills got me going. But I stand by my point that Ollie has not had a good eye for talent.

Um, that bracket is opening up nicely for the Bulls.

They just need to beat Kentucky, and it's clear sailing.

Hah, there's some irony in that moniker.

Just said the same thing.

But I’m trying not to jinx it too much.
