Six games into MAC play, UB Men's Basketball was at the same 3-3 record as in 2015.
Nine game in, they're at the same 6-3 record as in 2015.
The difference? The 2016 edition has even more games at home in the back nine than last year, and has already gotten wins over fellow teams at the top of the conference.
Realistically, sitting at #2 in the conference right now thanks to head-to-head-to-head tiebreakers, UB doesn't need much to snag a top-six finish, which was for most people an upper goal this season, and a top-four finish and quarterfinal bye* seems now more likely than not.
