Remarkable 2nd half from UB tonight. Clearly the better team.

Up 67-59 with 1:11 left. Massinburg, Harris, Perkins, and co. have been impressive tonight. I've only been following MAC basketball since 2010 (my freshman year), but this is easily the best MAC team I've ever seen.

Final: #14 Buffalo 71 - Syracuse 59.

Very impressive.

Guess the MAC is still a basketball conference.

In 2011 I saw Buffalo's coach coaching in high school down the street at Romulus High. Good for him and that program hope we can welcome them to the Mac on the 4th on National TV in the COnvo

Watched the highlights on ESPN digital.

All highlights were UB highlights.

Remember when we had a team that could win games like this 20+ years ago?

Excited to go to the January 4th game, even if we get blown out. It's always cool to see ranked teams in our gym. Last one was UMass back in 13/14. That was a fun game.

That was a fun game! We even took a small lead into halftime. Good student section that night (I was in the 1st or 2nd row).

I remember when we had a ranked team that played in our gym. In fact, it was our very own EMU team.

We suck. I don't like this team.

What's not to like other than we are turtle slow, cannot shoot, poorly coached, have no offensive movement and despite our size get out rebounded? We are after all the MAC West preseason championship selection.

Guys. Stay clear of Jerry. He has taken EMU MBB to the woodshed and I am afraid that he might not be finished!

It's such an effective counter to JonesGoddard's incisive analysis.

On another note, the Buffalo program is starting to remind me of the old Toledo program. Too good at everything!

Was Toledo ever even close to as good as Buffalo is playing? I don’t remember

So looks like Buffalo’s biggest preseason test is tonight @ #20 Marquette. 8:30 pm on fox sports 1 (channel 70/234 on the de Rout area woway service)

I am gonna check it out, and root on the MAC

Ramy, UB isn't in the MAC. I have the 'indivisible visual evidence.'
