Preseason previews

sMACk Talk (Substack): 2026-27 Mid-American Men's Basketball Overview 2026-10-21 · Kaily "KG" Godek (Buffalo section) and Foster Roesti · projected 10th (cites MAC preseason coaches poll)

Buffalo lost its top six scorers and returns no starters from the 17-15 team. Halcovage rebuilt from multiple levels, adding eight former NCAA Division I players plus D-III and NAIA standouts. Syracuse transfer J.J. Starling is called the key portal pickup, and NIU transfer Dylan Ducommun brings MAC experience. The piece says chemistry may take time but calls Buffalo a potential conference surprise depending on how it develops.

The Spectrum (UB): Coach George Halcovage III turned men's basketball from 4-27 to 17-15. He's far from done 2026-09-16 · Will Meyer

Senior sports editor Will Meyer profiles Halcovage entering year four after taking UB from 4-27 to 17-15. Halcovage calls last season a 'proof of concept' for UB's roster-building and development model, notes his contract runs through 2029-30, and says increased financial support (the 716 Club launched in July with $500,000 in commitments) is the program's biggest improvement, though UB is 'not exactly in the spot we want to be yet' on NIL. UB must replace departed stars Ryan Sabol and Daniel Freitag; J.J. Starling was awaiting an eligibility decision on a fifth season at publication. Halcovage: 'The best guards are the toughest guards.' Expectations shift from showing progress to competing for a MAC title.

Mid-Major Basketball: Buffalo: Fast start fades as inconsistency, transfers shape uncertain future 2026-04-26 · Logan Weingartner

Offseason look-ahead after Buffalo's 17-15 season and MAC quarterfinal loss to Akron. The Bulls started 13-2, then lost seven of their next 10, with defense ranking in the 22nd percentile nationally. Top scorers Daniel Freitag (Oregon State) and Ryan Sabol (Providence) left via the portal, Angelo Brizzi entered the portal and center Tim Oboh committed to Penn State. Guard Jahrel Vigo signed Apr. 17; Mikhail Pocknett, Kyle Jones and Omar Migues-Hibeljic were the main expected returners at the time of writing, with the roster still fluid.
