Nate Oats has put together a very solid season from a completely new look UB team. With so many first year players, a new coach, and pretty close to total chaos in the offseason there is no way I was expecting UB to be sitting in this position after their road heavy conference start.
The Bulls are 6-3 in conference play and when you factor in tiebreakers they sit at second in the conference, one and a half games behind the Akron Zips. Better than that, UB is a team getting better as the season goes on, now riding their first three-game win streak since November.
