The University at Buffalo’s men’s basketball match-up tonight against BYU brings back Jimmer nostalgia. One year ago, when the #16-ranked Cougars stormed into Alumni Arena and escaped with a 90-82 victory, Jimmer Fredette scored 28 of his 34 points in the second half, prompting Reggie Witherspoon to refer positively to the BYU guard as “a bad dude.” We love it when Witherspoon uses…

This guy’s got a point. ESPN’s David Fleming asks—If Fred Jackson isn’t deserving of the Pro Bowl, who is? Until just a few weeks ago, Jackson was leading the league in rushing with 934 yards on 5.5 yards per carry along with a career-best 442 receiving yards for the Bills. ESPN’s David Fleming explains here:

They’re sitting at opposite ends of the spectrum: the University at Buffalo, 6-2 overall—all non-conference, rests comfortably during its 10-day lay-off, knowing it owns a quality win (Dayton) and no truly embarrassing losses, while Canisius, 1-7 overall, 0-2 in the MAAC, doesn’t have quite the luxury.
