Sorry we're going to have to face Buffalo as they come off a defeat at EMU.  I figure Witherspoon will have some motivational material after that one.

STO HD on TWC in Athens in the on-screen guide says College Basketball teams TBA (original air date 01/01/09).  This sounds like a rerun to me rather than Ohio-Buffalo.  Can anyone set me straight on this?  Thanks.

The bookies have given up on us. We're 8 1/2 pt. underdogs.

Anyone going to this one? I'll be there (with a handful of other grad student, pseudo-UB fans)...sitting in the "student section" unless they've relaxed the seating sections restrictions since the last game I went to

Call me crazy, I think we can win this one...Just gotta play better lock down defense, don't give up the space we've been giving.  I'm usually expecting a loss to just about anyone we play on the road, let alone good teams like Buffalo...But I am optimistic tonight for some reason.  It's time for a close one to go our way.

I don't thing they've given up on us.  Buff probably gets 4-5 pts. for the home court.  On a neutral court, based on both teams' performances thus far, Buff would probably be a 4 pt. favorite based on computer systems like Sagarin.  So Buff by 8 1/2 doesn't surprise me. 

We CAN spring the upset!  Count me in with Ruck as one of the crazy folks.

Apparently Buffalo just now found out about the DJ cooper swim suit picture.

From Buffalo board:
"We got a 3x4 poster of it (couldnt make it any bigger cause it got really blurry), and 50 color copies for the students right by the bench."

Somebody briefly had him tagged in that photo again on facebook yesterday.  I hope he drops a triple double on them.

Andrew, I am not calling you crazy at all.  I agree with you.  I have a good feeling about this one too.  I mean if we defend better like you said and Freeman or Cooper or Kellogg go crazy on the 3's and Ivo, Reggie, and Devo clean up the boards on both ends of the court (actually box out), then we have a decent chance.   I think a few people have given up on this team but I am seeing a good improvement from them.  Remember folks, were they not the same way last year before they exploded and won the tourney and beat the Georgetown Hos?  Let's stay behind them and cheer them onto victory in that city up north.

DJ can immediately diffuse the situation by laughing at it and offering to autograph some of the posters.

I'm sorry, but that would be funny.  Kind of like when one of our students took a picture of an O-zone shirt photo shopped onto Charlie Coles and had him sign it.

I don't like this matchup. Ohio has lost 4 of its last 5 at Buffalo. In the earlier meeting, Filzen was limited in the first half with foul troubles but came back in the second half and dropped 20 points in 20 minutes. Javon McCrea also had a monster game. I guess the good news for Ohio is that Buffalo has lost two of its last three coming in. Time to see if the improved play vs. the West was for real or not.

Cooper has some serious swagger to him, I have no doubt he takes it in stride and has a big game.

Whoa!  Did somebody say we would win this game IF we play lock down defense?  Uh, sorry, WHEN have we done that this year?  

My hope is that we can outscore them!  We get 80+ and we just might bring home a -W-.

             Ball State had the same poster in their student section and we all know how that game turned out.

My gut is uneasy. Buffalo kills us on the boards, shoot 45% from 3 pt and we lose by 15. Sorry. I will celebrate being wrong with a Cappy-n-Coke and drink one to kill the pain if we do lose by any amount.

I'm not prepared to pin my hopes to swagger. Our friends in Philadelphia made that point for us.

This one has the makings of an ugly lose, 15-20pts.
May the boys prove me wrong.
I have DIRECTV and it's should be on 662. I sure hope this is not like the CM game when it wasn't on and DIRECTV told me that CM blacked it out. It laso shows as on 772 under ESPN FULL COURT.
