Buffalo

On CBSSports right now. Leading San Francisco right now - playing in Ireland. Might give us a good game again this year.

I think they'll be baffled by the zone.

Didn’t baffle the same team last year

Point guard on San Fran ...named Frankie Ferrari .. has to be a top five name in college bball

Hadn't gelled yet. Different team.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Buffalo sure turns the ball over without much pressure .. we should apply some full court and 2:2:1 as a proactive measure

Line was only Buffalo -5. Some interesting ones today. Seton Hall -3.5 VS Louisville and Gonzaga -6 @ Creighton jumped out at me.

We’re going to have to play better than the OSU game to beat Buffalo. I think they are more athletic and they have that undersized Center Perkins who took it to our frontiline. It took everything we had to beat them last year. They are going to really get up and hound our guards. OSU surprisingly didn’t do this. Last year the guards had 11 turnovers. (Howard 5, Battle 4, Washington 2 in 8 min).

We will get a tough battle but we play like we did wed we win.

FWIW Vegas and the advanced metric sites think OSU is better than Buffalo. We would be favored by 4 on a neutral court against UB and 2 against OSU.

Everyone does it but Belfast is in Northern Ireland, not Ireland, and is part of the United Kingdom.

War zone until the peace accord 20+ years ago, it has transformed itself into a great little city.

Great restaurants, some decent stuff to do and really lousy weather.

A poster child for how economic prosperity can overcome even extremely deep-rooted sectarian differences.

chippy "toughness" doesn't = good defense

but yes, we'll have to play well to beat UB

Arizona would disagree. It took EVERYTHING UK had to beat UB. At that point of the season Kentucky was cruising. They disposed of WVU even in Morgantown easily. Nobody except certain posters in our fan base say they play dirty also.

I said chippy. They play chippy.
They gave up 81 pts to SF
