MBBall - Buffalo 12/16 (Saturday)

[LetsGoRoMo]

Tough test for the Colonials this weekend with Buffalo. Their last game was against "Central Penn"? Not sure who they are, and did not really look into it.

Anyways, they have a fan website, https://www.ubbullrun.com/ so maybe they will have a preview up soon.

Game will be on ESPN3.

Massey Ratings
UB: 123
RMU: 185 (RMU is doing a great job climbing these rankings)

Massey Prediction:
Massey gives RMU a 23% chance to win 68-76

My worthless prediction:
RMU 72 UB 68

Will be interesting to see if Leoandre is back, such a good mix of guys on the team with different skill sets. Hopefully Matty has another great game, Dburke does his thing and lets hope FT% ticks up.

GO ROMO

RMU is moving up in the rankings & deserves to be in the top 200 now at minimum.

We can definitely beat Buffalo as we just beat 2 solid teams in Rider & Drexel and have won 6 of 7 right now. If we play a good game & shoot good from three, we can certainly get a quality road win @ UB.

Dachon, Matty, & Koby playing well is key as well.

I think Washington might be back but I'm not 100% sure. We'll see on him.

Go RMU!

I did just see Washington in the game. Colonials down 4 after 5 minutes. Cole left his man for 2 straight layups to chase outside the 3 point line.

Prob 10 mins left, just can't hit 3's today. Down by 20 I think now. They need to get hot quick.

0 for 10 on 3s. Look like they have visions of sugarplums in their heads.

Hopefully they play a lot better or else it will be a similar result @ NC State.

2-18 from 3 is horrible. Bain & Thomas took some ill advised ones but still gotta make more than that.

Shooting was way off. UB was bigger but we need to put a body on people and take care of the defensive glass.

Against bigger teams Toole has to consider playing 2 bigs one the court at once.

Petteway + Gombe or Cole would be nice at times.

Cole barely played today. Literally one foul in less than a minute, so either that was a typo in the box score or he was pulled immediately. Regardless, I think he's in Toole's doghouse a bit right now. Young man needs to get his confidence back and work hard in practice to earn some minutes back.

Ya Cole hasn't played much recently at all.

Toole must not be happy with him.

I noted here that he left his man wide open under the hoop two trips in a row while chased a guard outside the 3 point line. I was yelling at the screen. He was yanked for that I think.

Ya that was really frustrating & dumb...

When your already giving up size to the team, your team's bigs have to body up the other bigs & be near the hoop.

Right, on both ends!
