I would be completely shocked if we can compete in this game.

Well, we drank a lot of whiskey
So I don't know what went on that night at all
But I don't think they even missed us
I guess Buffalo ain't geared for me and Paul

We may not get boat raced but maybe a little canoe shock?

The cold weather will be an equalizer

I've seen crazier things happen.

Our shooting will be even colder. Buff by a dozen.

At least a dozen. I know I've said this in other comments but I just can't get over the talent gap we have. Seeing it in person is even worse.

Well, we did beat them already this season once.

How it was done?

JP with 23 points mostly from 2 point range and the FT line.
(we would be at the mercy of refs calling fouls again...???)

Kelly with 13 points and none of them from three

Hadaway with a career game of 27 points and 10 rebounds

Sheldon with a decent shooting game and 4 steals

For all this to repeat would almost be lightning in a bottle on the road.

I would say maybe a 10% or 15% chance to win the game. Not impossible odds, but not great ones either. Also Hadaway/Simmons/Kelly got called for a total of 13 fouls. Hadaway fouled out and the other two finished with 4 each. That would make a road win almost impossible if it repeats.

Is there any evidence that Buffalo plays D the way Kent and Akron do? I'm not seeing it. I think we just match up better with them. They certainly have weapons but unlike Miami, they seem to have shown that their gaudy preseason record was a mirage.

We're a road dog, no doubt, but I think our chances are more in the 35-40% range.

Torvik says Buffalo by 7.8 points. Gives us a 24% chance.

Hilariously Boals is actually 4-2 all-time at Buffalo.

I say we have 50-50 chance of winning this game if we get no technicals and no flagrant fouls.
