Figured we needed a dedicated game thread to focus on this next game .. Need a large win to support efficiency numbers and avoid too large of a drop in NET. Spiders 90-65.

Kenpom predicting 19 point Spiders win.I expect last 2 OOC to be Spiders -18...
a couple of Buffalo roster notes:
they're led by former Spider target and message board favorite Sy Chatman who is averaging 16 and 7. Sy played 2 years at UMass then transferred to Illinois State in 2020-21 where he played 5 games before opting out of the Covid season. he played 20 games in 2021-22 at Illinois St before tearing his ACL. he sat out 2022-23 recovering. he's certainly bouncing back this year.
also of note, freshman starter Anquan Bolden Jr is son of NFL hall of famer, Anquan Bolden.
lol, Jarius Glenn! no idea why I remember him.I still rue missing our guy who went to Tulsa. Not talking Reed but it was from the Beilein era I think - help me out with his name spiderman.
You’re delusional.

In Buffalo, my group stayed at the UConn hotel and the night following the Iowa game three generations of a very sad Hurley family had breakfast near us ... they had a bit of a better March a year later however.Blast from the past. But Chatman was a Spider23 guy iirc. I own Bobby Durkin & will for 4 years. I still rue missing our guy who went to Tulsa. Not talking Reed but it was from the Beilein era I think - help me out with his name spiderman.
I kinda like Buffalo. I stayed in same hotel earlier this year with their football team. Pretty friendly guys. It will never top getting same hotel as Iowa the night b4 we beat them in March 2022 tho. That can’t be beat!
When you say Buffalo has only been getting beaten by 15 (which I think is a large number), you also have to take into account difficulty of opponent. Buffalo has played 1 BCS team (Butler) and that was one of their closest losses of 13. They've gotten beaten by 25 by Iona, by 34 by Hofstra, by 14 to South Alabama, 17 to Western Kentucky. So, it's not like Buffalo is out playing murderers row of Top 25 teams, they are getting regularly shit canned by average mid-major type programs, lol, which is kind of us as well.Yes, mr. spider, was just checking scores for my SSB bets, and noticed that Buffalo not getting beat as bad as you would think considering their kenpom 333 rating.
We will be up by 25 late, put in the bench and end up winning by 15.Now Mr. Kenpom and 97 have me thinking of laying it with the Spiders. Which has been burning me. So stay away. Hoping we want to go into the break with a big win.
Thx SpiderScrooge … good game until the last 7 minutesTwo really really bad teams playing tonight in the RC. Bailey, Bigelow and Quinn are the only ones that showed up. The rest went home for Christmas already. Tyne and Harris bring absolutely nothing, and Mooney has totally broken Noyes and Roche. It’s going to be a long ugly A-10 season having to win the tournament from the 16th position.
Their guy #3 Adams was the difference maker for them. His first game since the ruling to make guys eligible.Thx Scrooge … good game until the last 7 minutes
Not sure what you mean here, Buffalo looked horrible most of the game and was down 20 with 6 minutes left. If UR didn't check out of the endgame on offense (zero FGs last 6 m) the score would have been reflective of the way the game went. Once Buffalo started turning it over after having 0 turnovers the first 16 minutes, the game went about as expected.Their guy #3 Adams was the difference maker for them. His first game since the ruling to make guys eligible.
