Ouch!     Buffalo State is charging $5.00 to watch a live Boxcast stream of tonight's scheduled game of Rochester at Buffalo State, with no guarantee of watching the game again on demand once you have watched the game once.

We all know how a lot of people feel about Rochester's paywall system.

Well, I paid the toll.  Hopefully, the game still goes on as scheduled.

$5 for a stream with no commentary! Terrible!

Allen does us all a real service with his in-game Yellowjackets updates. "Deiscanton: He pays to watch Rochester so that you don't have to."

$5 for a stream with no commentary! Terrible!

Did you say, "[That's] terrible!" in your best Charles Barkley voice?

That was exactly what I was going to post!

Final:

Rochester 99, Buffalo State 57

Big story of the night:  Ryan Algier not back yet from injury.  Since there was no commentary tonight, maybe JC DeLass will give a timetable on Saturday when Rochester hosts Emory-- or maybe not.

Other big story of the night:  Rochester plays 18 players tonight, 15 of them score in what was a showcase game for the Rochester players.

(Note: under UAA rules in league play, a UAA team playing a conference game on the road can only play 14 players if the team is travelling by air at any segment of the weekend road trip, and 15 players if the weekend trip is done entirely by bus.  No limit on the number of players the home UAA team can play in a UAA conference game.)

Just a correction to make-- Dan Masino became the 3rd Rochester player to score in double figures this game-- Ross Gang did not hit double figures, as he finished with 8 points.

Brian Amabilino Perez-- 25 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks

The Multi-regional Topics threads have been killing it lately, lol.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

From what I've heard, January was an optimistic return for Algier.

From what I've heard, January was an optimistic return for Algier.

We (at least those of us who follow the UAA closely) all knew that.

As posted on the Region 3 board, Buff State had 6 players test positive for COVID, and three more have apparently been dismissed.

Bengals had a 17 player roster but only 8 including 4 regular starters saw action.

Hopefully no superspreader event here.

My men's & women's Bears are scheduled to play in Buffalo on Friday night.

Old Chinese proverb [some say curse], "may you live in interesting times."

Sounds like the Yellowjackets were a bit angry at Matt Snyder ranking Oswego just ahead of them in Region III and made a statement.
