Ken Pom:
GMU - 115
Buffalo - 212
This is the Toilet Bowl Game of the 2022 Paradise Jam Tourney. 7th and 8th place are at stake!
They are 1-1 at home, 0-1 on the road, and 0-2 at neutral sites.
The Bulls were picked 6th in the MAC preseason poll. No players on the Bulls roster were chosen for any preseason awards.
Wins: Colgate (88-87)
Losses: JMU (97-62), UConn (84-64), Drake (80-72), Howard (63-59)
Schedule: 2022-23 Men's Basketball Schedule - University at Buffalo
Roster: https://ubbulls.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster?path=mbball
Stats: https://ubbulls.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster?path=mbball
Buffalo is led by 6’4” Zid Powell (13.2 ppg), 6’4” Armani Foster (9.8 ppg), and 6’5” Curtis Jones (12.4 ppg), 6’8” LaQuill Garnett (8.8 ppg), and 6’6” Isaiah Adams (6.4 ppg). 6’5” Kidtrell Blocker, 6’11” Isaac Jack, and starter 6’9” Jonnivius Smith have played double figure minutes with minimal contributions to date.
The Bulls average 69.0 points per game while giving up 82.2. Buffalo is shooting 42.5% from the floor and 27.0% from 3. Opponents are shooting 47.2% from the field and 33.3% from 3. The Bulls shoot 72.0% from the free throw line and average 18.0 turnovers per game. The Bulls have been out rebounded by their opponents by an average of 7.6 boards per game.
The game is on ESPN 3.
My prediction: Leaving Paradise Jam 0-3 would be downright sad. We have no heart, we have no pride, we have no skill. We sure as heck can’t shoot free throws, rebound, or defend when it counts. Rather than practice to correct our deficiencies KE decides that a trip to a local nudist colony would serve the team best. We lose and close out Paradise Jam 0-3. Buffalo 57 - GMU 55. Realistically, World Cup USA action starts at 2PM so why bother watching?
