Josh Whetzel Voice of the Bulls
“We are thrilled to be partnering with ESPN 1520,” UB Director of Athletics Danny White said. “To have UB Athletics broadcasted over the airwaves of one of the most powerful stations on the East Coast will further help us enhance our brand and reach a very large fan base across the state of New York as well as our extensive alumni base on the Eastern seaboard.” “We found out with a lot of research that Buffalo has an insatiable appetite for sports and that is why we launched ESPN 1520 last September,” said Entercom Vice President/General Manager Greg Ried. “One of the purposes of that station were to provide a better outlet for local collegiate sports in Western New York and to get out the message of what is going on.

2013-14 MAC EAST CHAMPIONS
SEASON PREVIEW NEW FACES EMERGE AS BULLS LOOK TO DEFEND MAC EAST DIVISION TITLE As State University of New York, Buffalo head men’s basketball coach Bobby Hurley begins his second year at UB, he is tasked with rebuilding a team that graduated five players, including the school’s all-time leading scorer a year ago. In his first year with the Bulls, Hurley led the Bulls to their first ever outright MAC East Division Title and the third seed in the MAC Tournament. Hurley was named a finalist for the Joe B. Hall Award, given to the nation’s top first-year head coach. This season, Hurley welcomes five players back from that team, but also brings in the services of seven new players. Leading the way for the Bulls is senior Will Regan, who was most recently named to the preseason All-MAC East Division Team and the AllBig 4 First Team. Regan is the returning leading scorer and rebounder from last season and despite playing just two seasons for the Bulls has 682 career points and 318 career rebounds. The Bulls also return senior Xavier Ford, the lone four-year member on this year’s squad. Ford average 4.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game last season, splitting time as both a starter and a reserve. He set career highs in nearly every category last year including scoring, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding and blocked shots. Ford is expected to provide veteran leadership to this year’s team. UB returns a pair of juniors as well, including Jarryn Skeete, who was named to the All-Big 4 Preseason Second Team. When healthy, Skeete has proven to be one of the top shooters on the team, shown by his season-high 19 points last season against Eastern Michigan, including a 4-for-7 performance from behind the arc. Through his first two seasons, Skeete has shot just over 30% from three-point range. Last season, he was one of the top free throw shooters on the team at 86.7%. The Bulls also bring back junior Justin Moss, who came off the bench in all 29 games last season. Moss was playing in his first season with the Bulls after transferring from Indian Hills
XAVIER FORD UB MEN’S BASKETBALL
College. Moss had a flare for the dramatic as he was involved in two of the top plays of the year last season and served as a valuable reserve forward. Moss went over double figures twice last year with 14 points in a win over Western Michigan and 12 points in a victory at Kent State. Moss also added 3.2 rebounds per contest a year ago. In his first year with the Bulls last season Shannon Evans quickly became a fan favorite as he served as UB’s Sixth Man during his freshman season. Evans was so good at his role, he earned postseason honors that included the All-MAC Freshmen Team and the Kyle Macy Freshman AllAmerica Team. This year, Evans was named firstteam preseason All-Big 4. Evans averaged 8.5 points and 3.3 assists per game last year, recording double figures nine times, including a career-best 20 points against Manhattan. Evans looks to join the starting lineup this year and take over for Jarod Oldham, who graduated last year. Joining this group of returnees are seven newcomers that are a nice mix of transfers and freshmen. Junior Rodell Wigginton comes to UB after spending the last two seasons at the College of Central Florida. A prototypical wing player, Wigginton started all 30 games last season for the Patriots, averaging 16.2 point and 6.3 rebounds per game. During his freshman year, he helped lead the Patriots to a NJCAA National Title. Also transferring in is junior forward Raheem Johnson, who played the last two seasons at Barton Community College where he average 11.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game during his sophomore season. Johnson played his high school ball for current UB assistant coach Nate Oats at Romulus High School in Michigan. A teammate of Johnson and Moss at Romulus and also joining the Bulls this year is redshirt freshman guard Christian Pino, who walked on at Arizona State last season, but did not see any game action. UB also brings in a class of four talented freshmen that begin with point guard Lamonte Bearden out of Germantown, Wisconsin. Bearden was named the fourth best player in the state of Wisconsin and the 28th best point guard in the country by ESPN. com as he helped lead Germantown High School to back-to-back state titles. Bearden averaged 15.3 points, 4.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds per contest. Freshman guard Mory Diane is another Detroit, MI area product that played his senior season at Detroit Pershing High School after beginning his career at Country Day High School. Diane was named the 11th best player in the state of Michigan by ESPN Recruiting services as he averaged 17.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals during his final season. He was named third-team All-State following the year. Also joining the class is a 6-4 shooter out of Mt. Prospect, IL in Bobby Frasco. Frasco was captain for his final two years in at Prospect High School, averaging 18.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game during his season year. Rounding out the group of freshmen is Ikenna Smart from North Carolina. Smart is a big, physical player, who will provide depth in the post. Smart averaged a double-double during his senior season in high school with 13 points and 13 rebounds per game.

Conference play comes to an end in early March with the Bulls home for their final two games against Ohio and Bowling Green.

HEAD COACH BOBBY HURLEY
BOBBY HURLEY Head Coach • 2nd Year • Duke, 1993 Bobby Hurley, one of the most iconic figures in college basketball history, begins his second season as head coach of the UB men’s basketball team. Hurley led the Bulls to their first ever outright MAC East Division title in 2013-14. Hurley was named a finalist for the Joe B. Hall Award, which is given to the nation’s top first year head coach. He coached Javon McCrea, who was named the MAC Player of the Year and became UB’s all-time leading scorer during his senior season. The Bulls won 19 games in Hurley’s first year at the helm. Hurley was named the 12th head men’s basketball coach at the University at Buffalo. He joined UB from the University of Rhode Island where he has been serving as associate head coach. “After reviewing a large and highly qualified national pool and following my conversations with some of the most respected figures in college athletics, Coach Hurley was clearly the choice to lead the next era of UB basketball,” White said. “ As we continue to foster our role as the flagship athletic department for the state of New York, the appointment of Coach Hurley sends a clear statement that the University at Buffalo is committed to bringing big time college athletics to the Western New York community and the state at large.
career assists with 1,076. Following his outstanding career at Duke, Hurley was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the seventh pick in the 1993 NBA Draft. He went on to play five years in the NBA with the Kings and Vancouver Grizzles. Hurley joined the Philadelphia 76ers as a scout in 2003 before venturing into private business. He was hired as an assistant coach at Wagner College in 2010 and spent two seasons with the Seahawks, playing a critical role in rebuilding the men’s basketball team. He helped lead Wagner to a 25-6 record during the 2011-12 season – its best record in school history – before joining Rhode Island, where he was associate head coach this past season. Hurley comes from a strong basketball lineage. His father, Bob, Sr., is a legendary coach in the high school ranks, leading perennial power St. Anthony’s to 26 state championships and more than 1,000 wins in 39 years of coaching. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010. Hurley’s brother, Dan, is the head men’s basketball coach at Rhode Island, after a successful tenure at Wagner College and an outstanding prep school coaching career. Hurley and his wife, Leslie, have two daughters, Cameron and Sydney, and a son, Bobby.
“Coach Hurley adds an exciting dynamic to our athletic program,” White added. “He is one of the most accomplished players in college basketball history with a legacy that includes three Final Four appearances and winning two national championships.

UB MEN’S BASKETBALL
LEWISTON, NY - In a game that featured 173 points and 73 trips to the free throw line, the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team fell on the short end Wednesday night at Niagara, 92-81. Senior Javon McCrea led all scorers with 31 points in the affair. Buffalo had its only lead on the night at 5-2 just 1:30 into the contest and found itself fighting its way back into the game for the rest of the evening. The Purple Eagles went on a 12-0 run to take a 14-5 lead and increased its first-half advantage to 16, their largest lead of the game. The Bulls scored the final basket of the half on a layup from Xavier Ford as they went into the half trailing, 47-33. The Bulls opened the second half on an 11-1 run over the first two and a half minutes, capped off on a layup from McCrea, but Niagara answered with eight straight points to regain a 12-point lead. UB again made a charge, this time using back-to-back fast break dunks from Jarod Oldham and Joshua Freelove to pull the Bulls within 71-66 with 8:12 left. UB remained in the hunt as time continued to wind down as a pair of McCrea free throws pulled UB within 83-79 with 3:30 left. However, the Bulls would manage just two points over the final 3:30 as Niagara hit late free throws for the final margin of victory. McCrea scored 31 points, giving him 1,512 for his career, just three points shy of moving into fourth place in school history in scoring. The Newark, NY native completed the double-double with 14 rebounds, just two shy of his career high. Nine of those rebounds came on the offensive end. He also added two blocks and three steals. Freelove finished with a career-best 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting, while Ford added 10 points and five rebounds. Sophomore Jarryn Skeete added eight points and seven rebounds, while Oldham added six points and three assists. Freshman Shannon Evans recorded his first career points on a three pointer in the opening half and he finished with five points and two rebounds. “We didn’t get off to a very good start today and in the first half we lost the effort game,” said head coach Bobby Hurley. “We gave up a lot of offensive rebounds and dug a hole for ourselves. We need to get back to the drawing board defensively and figure out a way to not let our opponent shoot such a high percentage from the field.”

COLLEGE STATION, TX – For 30 minutes on Friday night, the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team hung with its SEC foe, but the Bulls were badly outscored over the final 10 minutes, 25-6 as they fell to Texas A&M, 82-58. Friday night’s game was the first for head coach Bobby Hurley. The Bulls got out to a quick start as they built an eightpoint first half lead off strong defense and easy looks at the basket. A three-pointer from newcomer Joshua Freelove and a jumper from senior Javon McCrea put the Bulls ahead 25-17 with 6:34 remaining in the opening half. However, from there the Aggies went on a 22-6 run to take a 39-31 lead into the half. Buffalo fought its way back as it opened the second half on an 8-1 run, capped off on a three-pointer from junior Will Regan, but the Aggies again found a six-point lead at, 48-42. But the Bulls answered one more time, scoring seven straight points, the final three capped off on a fast-break steal and thunderous dunk from Freelove, who was fouled in the process. The run gave the Bulls a 49-48 lead, but it would be their final lead of the night. Texas A&M scored five straight points to regain the lead. Sophomore newcomer Justin Moss than scored two points on a dunk with 9:48, which proved to be UB’s final field goal of the night. The Bulls scored four final points from the free throw line. McCrea led the way with 14 points, five rebounds and two blocked shots in his season debut. Freelove added 11 points, while sophomore Jarryn Skeete had nine points on 3-of-10 shooting from behind the arc. Senior Jarod Oldham and Moss each added seven points, while junior Xavier Ford added six. McCrea and Oldham were both limited in their minutes due to foul trouble. All 11 players saw action in the game, including freshman Shannon Evans, who played 22 minutes, running the point while Oldham was out of the game. Despite not scoring, Evans added three boards and three assists. Fellow freshman Deyshonee Much had a point and three rebounds. As a team, the Bulls had 14 turnovers, including just five in the second half. However, the Aggies were able to turn those turnovers into 20 points. “I thought we did a pretty good job defensively in the first half,” said Hurley. “We just had some breakdowns late in the half and there is big difference heading into the locker room down two or up two and then down eight and we just didn’t play well over the final three minutes. Offensively, our guys are still learning the new system and our field goal percentage wasn’t nearly where we would have liked it to be tonight.”

BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo men’s basketball team put five players into double figures including a gamehigh 19 points and 14 rebounds from Javon McCrea as the Bulls picked up their first victory of the season, 80-60 over West Virginia Wesleyan Saturday afternoon at Alumni Arena. The win was the first in the head coaching career of Bobby Hurley. The game was close for much of the first half as Wesleyan used some strong three-point shooting to stay in the contest. The Bobcats scored the first four points of the game before the Bulls got their offense going. Wesleyan led 20-16 when the Bulls went on an 18-2 run, going up 34-22. The final bucket came on a layup from Xavier Ford who flashed his athletic ability through out the afternoon; showing it early on an alley-oop dunk off a pass from freshman Shannon Evans just six minutes into the game. UB would add one to its advantage before the half, taking a 40-27 lead into the break. UB continued to be the aggressors in the second half, as senior Joshua Freelove converted on an alley-oop off a pass from Jarryn Skeete just seven seconds into the half. The Bobcats got no closer than 10 as the Bulls went on a 14-2 run during a two and a half minute stretch where McCrea had five points and Ford broke away for another dunk. The Bulls built their largest lead of the game at 79-56 with a driving layup from Justin Moss. As a team, UB scored at least 80 points for the second straight game, while the 60 points scored by Wesleyan were a season low allowed. The Bulls also shot a season-high 53.6% from the floor. “It was nice to finally be home and play in front of a great crowd today,” said Hurley. “I thought we got some good contributions out of our guys today; we had five players in double figures and that is a real positive.” McCrea followed up his 31-point, 14-rebound night against Niagara with another 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead the way. He also added a block and two steals. Ford finished with 14 points off the bench, just two points shy of his career high. Three other starters finished in double figures as Freelove had 13 points, while junior Will Regan finished with 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting in just 16 minutes due to foul trouble. Senior Jarod Oldham had his best day of the young season, scoring 13 points on 4-of-4 shooting, while adding a game-high six assists as well as a career-best three blocked shots. He also added three steals on the defensive end. UB, which finished with a season-high 14 assists, got four dimes from Evans, who added four points and a rebound. Moss added five points and Skeete finished with three points and two assists.

The Bulls outscored RMU, 43-28 in the second half. The victory improves UB to 2-2 on the season. “I thought it was a great team win,” said head coach Bobby Hurley. “Having 10 days of practice gave us gave us an opportunity to work on some of the deficiencies that we had early in the season and we made a stronger commitment to rebounding and defending at a higher level and I think that showed tonight.” Robert Morris took the early lead in the contest as four straight free throws 10 minutes into the game gave the Colonials a 25-16 lead. However, the Bulls quickly erased the deficit by going on a 10-0 run. Included in the run was a Jarod Oldham three pointer, a fast-break dunk from senior Joshua Freelove and five free throws. The visiting Colonials retook a two-point advantage, 34-32, but the Bulls answered with six straight points before the teams entered the half tied at 38-38.

The Bulls led by just one at 53-52 with 11 minutes left when a three pointer from freshman Shannon Evans sparked a 16-2 run, putting UB up 69-54 with 6:18 remaining. UB extended its lead to a game-high 20 points as a three-pointer from Jarryn Skeete gave the Bulls a 78-58 lead with 3:34 left. The Colonials were able to pull no closer than 15 through out the rest of the night. The Bulls placed five players in double figures led by senior Javon McCrea, who recorded his third straight double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds in 28 minutes. McCrea added five blocks and a steal. Skeete finished with a season-high 15 points as he went 4-of-8 from the field, including 3-of-5 from behind the arc.

BUFFALO, NY - Freshman Shannon Evans scored a careerhigh 13 points to lead the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team to a 65-55 win over Delaware State at Alumni Arena on Saturday afternoon. It was the Bulls’ third straight win to improve to 3-2 on the season. UB featured a very balanced scoring attack. Will Regan and Jarod Oldham each scored 12 points and Javon McCrea and Joshua Freelove finished with nine points, apiece. McCrea had his consecutive game streak of scoring in double-figures snapped at 26. Leading, 34-33, with 15:42 left, the Bulls mounted an 8-0 scoring run, bookended by three-pointers from Evans and fellow freshman Deyshonee Much. Following another three-pointer by Freelove, UB really clamped down on defense. The Bulls came up with steals on three of Delaware State’s next four possessions and a fast break dunk by Evans extended the UB lead to 53-40, its largest of the game. Buffalo had five blocks, 11 steals and forced 17 Hornet turnovers. Evans had four steals and Oldham added three. McCrea had three blocks and tied Regan with a game-high eight rebounds. Delaware State really slowed down the pace of play and it seemed to frustrate the Bulls at times. “That is their style, based on their team, that they can stay in games and give them a chance to win,” head coach Bobby Hurley said. “These guys [Evans and Oldham] were terrific defensively, seven steals between the two of them and they were able to create some problems.”

BUFFALO, NY - Four three pointers from four different players late in the second half propelled the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team to a 78-73 come from behind victory over St. Bonaventure, Saturday afternoon in front of 4,652 fans at Alumni Arena. The win was UB’s fourth in a row and its first over St. Bonaventure since the 1996-97 season. “I am just very impressed with our team and how clutch we were in the second half,” said head coach Bobby Hurley. “We didn’t shoot the ball well early, but we hit big shots when we needed to and we got stops on the defensive end when we really needed them.” The contest was close through out, with neither team leading by more than nine during the 40 minutes of action. However, it was the Bulls who were trailing by six with 5:31 remaining, when the game changed in the favor of the home team. Senior Joshua Freelove hit the first of what would be four straight three pointers for the Bulls putting them in front. A three from junior Will Regan tied it up before St. Bonaventure regained the three point lead. Calmly on the next trip, freshman Shannon Evans knocked down a triple to tie the game up and the next time down the floor, sophomore Jarryn Skeete hit a three pointer of his own, giving the Bulls the lead for good with 2:09 left. Even more impressive in the stretch was that all four plays came on assists from four different individuals. The Bulls knocked down their final six free throws to ice the victory. The afternoon opened UB’s way as the Bulls raced out to an 18-9 lead, which was capped off on a tip-in from senior Jarod Oldham. The Bonnies were able to get back in the contest partially in part to 20 first-half trips to the free throw line and they took a 39-38 lead into the half. Evans and Skeete led four players in double figures with 17 points a piece. The 17 points were a career high for the freshman Evans, who has now scored 17 and 13 points, respectively in his last two games. Skeete had a season-high in points, while also leading the Bulls in the rebounding department with six. Freelove added 13 points, while McCrea finished with 10 points despite not taking a field goal attempt in the second half. Oldham, who was limited to 21 minutes due to foul trouble, had nine points, five assists and four rebounds. Regan added six points, five rebounds and a career-high four blocked shots. McCrea added three blocks. Junior Xavier Ford added six points off the bench. The Bulls used clutch free throw shooting all afternoon, hitting their first 18 attempts and finishing 28-for-32 for the game. UB also had one of its best days from long range, especially in the second half where it went 6-for-11 from behind-the-arc.

BUFFALO, NY – Playing at the First Niagara Center for the first time since 2004, the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team lost to Canisius, 69-55, on Wednesday night – snapping its four-game win streak. The Golden Griffins outscored the Bulls, 43-20, in the second half to erase an 11-point deficit and earn the victory. “For large stretches early I thought we had a pretty good control of the game and then it just started to slip away from us,” said head coach Bobby Hurley. “We stopped playing defense the way we needed to and give Canisius credit for having players step up late in the game.” The Bulls (4-3) had three players score in double-figures, led Javon McCrea who finished with 13 points and six rebounds. Joshua Freelove scored 11 points, including a trio of three-pointers and Will Regan added 10 points. UB led throughout the opening 20 minutes of action thanks to a hot shooting performance that saw UB shoot 57 percent from the field and 60 percent from three-point range. Eight different players found the scoring column in the first half. The Bulls continued their solid play into the second half and a Shannon Evans jumper with 10:54 left gave UB a 51-43 lead. It was at that point Canisius switched to a zone defense and it seemed to stymie the Bulls’ offensive attack. The Griffs outscored the Bulls, 26-4, down the stretch to pull away for the victory. A once red-hot UB team shot just 2-of-16 from the field down the stretch. Canisius outscored UB 32-24 in the paint and grabbed 14 offensive rebounds which led to 19 second chance points. There was a large discrepancy in free throw shooting as Canisius went to the charity stripe 25 times, compared to just eight trips for the Bulls. Xavier Ford scored seven points in 10 minutes for the Bulls. Evans had a career-high six assists to go along with his four points. The Bulls return to the road next Saturday as they face Manhattan at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, NY. Part of a college hoops tripleheader, the game tips off at 3:00 pm.

BROOKLYN, NY – In a game that featured 12 ties and 17 lead changes, the University at Buffalo was unable to hold on to a late seven-point lead and fell to Manhattan, 84-81 in overtime, Saturday afternoon at the Barclays Center. The loss evens UB’s record at 4-4 on the season. The Bulls held a late second half lead as they were up 75-68 with just 45 seconds left. However, a Manhattan three pointer, followed by a three point play put the Jaspers within striking distance. UB regained a three-point lead at 77-74, but with five second left, Shane Richards was fouled on a three-point attempt and hit all three shots to tie the game up. Freshman Shannon Evans had one last look at the basket, but was unable to connect. Manhattan scored the first four points of the overtime period, but with UB down, 81-78, senior Joshua Freelove drained a triple to even the score at 81-81. Manhattan regained the lead with just 18 seconds left and held on for the 84-81 victory. Evans had one last look at three, but his shot was just off the mark. Manhattan, who entered today’s game following a double-digit road victory against South Carolina of the SEC earlier this week, had all they can handle with the pesky UB squad, who outrebounded the Jaspers, but were hurt by 22 turnovers. Manhattan grabbed a quick 7-3 lead to start the afternoon, but the Bulls led for most of the opening 20 minutes. With the Bulls down 9-8 early, a brief altercation caused two Manhattan players to be ejected and Evans was able to knock down all four free throws. UB led by as many as nine points in the first half following a three pointer from Evans, which gave UB a 33-24 lead with 5:50 left. Manhattan went on a 13-4 run to tie the game up, but a pair of free throws gave the Bulls a 41-39 lead at the break. Manhattan grabbed its largest lead of the game at six with 7:16 left in the second half, but Freelove went on a 7-0 run by himself, capped off on an ally-oop dunk from Evans, which gave the Bulls a 65-64 lead with 4:56 left in regulation. The Bulls would remain in front until the late free throws tied the game in the final five seconds. Evans finished with a team-high 20 points, the first UB freshman to score 20 points in a game since Javon McCrea in 2009-10. Evans did most of his damage from the free throw line where he was 13-for-15. Evans also added five assists and two steals. McCrea recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds, adding three blocks and three steals. Freelove added a career-high 17 points, while also finishing with five blocked shots.

BUFFALO, NY – A 67-34 advantage on the scoreboard over the final 25 minutes of action helped lead the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team to an 87-57 victory over Binghamton on Monday afternoon at Alumni Arena. The Bulls had season highs in shooting and assists, while committing a season-low seven turnovers. The Bulls trailed late in the opening half, 23-20, but went on a 20-4 run over the final 5:44 to take a 40-27 lead into the half. It was a tough start for UB, who hit just two of its first 11 shots after a short turnaround from a road contest on Saturday. However, the Bulls ended up hitting 10 of their final 16 shots of the half. UB quickly added to its lead early in the second half, scoring the first six points en route to a 16-3 run over the first four minutes and 15 seconds. Senior Javon McCrea was a big part of the run as he contributed nine points. The Bulls continued to lead by at least 20 for the remainder of the half. UB also got the long ball working in the second half, hitting six three pointers, led by senior Josh Freelove, who had three of his five triples in the second half. Freshman Shannon Evans also knocked down a pair on back-to-back possessions. Binghamton went on to cut the UB lead to 74-52 with 3:50 left, but UB went on one last 12-3 run as a three pointer from Deyshonee Much gave the Bulls their largest lead of the game at 86-55. The Bulls went on to win 87-57, scoring their biggest win over a Division I opponent since defeating Canisius, 94-59 in 2011. McCrea recorded his second straight double-double and his fifth of the season with 25 points and 14 rebounds. McCrea has now moved over 1,600 points for his career. The senior also added a season-high four assists, three blocks and three steals. Freelove finished with a career-best 19 points, including a 5-for-9 performance from three-point range. Junior Will Regan also had a season-high in points with 18, while adding seven rebounds, six of those on the offensive end. Junior Xavier Ford made his first start of the season and finished with nine points, three rebounds, an assists, a block and two steals. Senior point guard Jarod Oldham scored just two points, but dished out a season-high nine assists, while not turning the ball over at all. Evans added six points off the bench, while Much had five. The 87 points scored by the Bulls are a season high and it is the fifth time in nine games that the Bulls have scored over 80 points in a game. UB also finished with seasonhighs in three pointers (9) and assists (21) and a season-low in turnovers (7), including just twice in the second half.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – The University at Buffalo men’s basketball team picked up its first true road victory of the year on Sunday afternoon, outscoring the host Drexel Dragons 35-28 in the second half en route to a 55-52 win. The victory is UB’s second straight and improves its record to 6-4 heading into the final non-conference game of the season on Friday. It was a slow start offensively for both teams in the first half as the two squads combined to shoot just 15-of-57 from the floor. Drexel led by as many as eight in the opening half at 22-14 with 4:36 remaining, but UB ended the half on a quick 6-2 run, including a put-back basket from sophomore Justin Moss as time expired, which pulled UB within 24-20 at the break. The Bulls scored the first four points of the second half to tie the game up and neither team had more than a fivepoint lead until Drexel regained a five-point advantage at 39-34 with 11:42. Despite the Bulls hitting just one three pointer to that point, sophomore Jarryn Skeete calmly knocked down a triple pulling the Bulls back within two. Buffalo held on to a 49-48 lead when four straight points from senior Javon McCrea gave UB a 53-48 lead, tying for its largest lead of the game. Drexel cut the lead to 54-52 and had the ball late, but missed a three-pointer with three seconds left as senior Joshua Freelove took in the rebound with just 0.2 second left. He made the first before missing the second intentionally to end the game. McCrea finished with 20 points despite picking up three first-half fouls and playing just 27 minutes. He had 16 of his points in the second half as he also finished with nine rebounds and two blocks. No other player scored in double figures. Junior Will Regan finished with seven points and a career-high 10 rebounds, including nine on the defensive end. Regan also drew a big charge late in the game to help cement the victory. Freshman Shannon Evans finished with six points, hitting a pair of big three pointers in the second half. Senior Jarod Oldham had four points, five rebounds and a game-high eight assists. Freelove had five points and a season-high four assists. Moss and junior Xavier Ford also finished with five points. Drexel fell to 8-4, losing at home for the first time this season. This is also just of one two losses for the Dragons that came to opponents that were not nationally ranked. The 52 points scored were the fewest the Bulls have allowed all season and the fewest that Drexel had scored in a game this year. The UB defense held Drexel to a 1-for-14 performance from three-point range.

BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo men’s basketball team put forth its best defensive effort of the season, holding the visiting Northern Illinois Huskies to just 46 points, the lowest by a UB opponent since 2011. The 27.3% shooting performance from NIU helped lead the Bulls to a 67-46 victory in the Mid-American Conference opener for both teams. The victory was also UB’s third straight, improving their record to 7-4 on the year. “I was pleased with the defensive effort on the floor tonight holding them to 27% and forcing 19 turnovers,” said head coach Bobby Hurley. “I thought we got off to a great start, but we hit a bad stretch there at the end of the first half and we need to do a better job putting teams away. With that said I was impressed with the way we came out in the second half and took care of business.” The Bulls led the contest wire-to-wire as they opened the evening on a 16-0 run over the first six minutes of the game. The first six points of the night were recorded by junior Will Regan, who led all scorers with 15 points. Despite UB’s big lead, the Huskies didn’t allow the Bulls to pull away with it early. UB continued to lead 20-6 with 7:51 left in the half, but Northern Illinois went on an 11-2 run to pull within five at 22-17. UB held on to the lead though into the break, 24-20. The second half displayed a different UB offense as the Bulls scored 43 second-half points, shooting 61.9% percent from the floor and 62.5% from three-point range, which started on the first possession as senior Joshua Freelove drained a triple from the corner to extend the UB lead. The Bulls ended up opening the half on a 16-7 run, extending their lead to 40-27 with 14:06 left. The Huskies never got any closer than 10. The Bulls were able to close out the game thanks to the emergence of senior Javon McCrea, who had 10 of his 14 points over the final six and a half minutes of action. The Bulls also hit their final 10 free throws down the stretch. Regan paced four players in double figures with 15 points and six rebounds. McCrea had another monster night all around, finishing with 14 points, eight rebounds, four assists and eight blocks. The eight blocks tie his career-high and are tied for third in school history for a single game. The UB defensive performance continued a recent trend of not allowing 60 points in a game. Tonight marked the third straight game the Bulls have held their opponent under 60 points, the first time that has happened since the 2011-12 season. The 46 points allowed were also the fewest by a UB team since allowing 43 points to Central Michigan on February 8, 2011.

The victory is UB’s fourth straight and it put the Bulls at 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference for the first time since the 2009-10 season.

The Eagles quickly tied it up, but Skeete was able to knock down a long three and the Bulls led for the final 4:51. EMU made one final push as it pulled within 66-62 with 2:40 left, but UB than scored six straight, first coming on another triple from Skeete and than the exclamation point came on a steal and fast break layup from Jarod Oldham, who completed a three-point play following a foul. Oldham hit another two free throws late to give the Bulls their largest lead of the game at 12. UB went on to win 76-66. It was an extremely even first half that saw the two teams go into the locker room tied at 30-30.

TOLEDO, OH – Toledo guard Julius Brown sunk a jumper as time expired on Wednesday night, leading the Rockets to a 67-65 win over Buffalo, in front of 4,595 fans at Savage Arena. The Bulls had led by as many as 13 in the opening half, but the Rockets were able to get back into the game, due in part to a noticeable discrepancy at the free throw line, 24-6. The loss is UB’s first in conference play as it falls to 8-5 on the season and 2-1 in conference play. Toledo improved to 14-2 on the season and 2-1 in conference. The Rockets remained perfect at home, but tonight was its smallest margin of victory in a game at Savage Arena. The Bulls held an early seven-point lead in the second half, but after a quick Toledo run, neither team led by more than two possessions for the remainder of the night. The Bulls fought off three two-point deficits over the final minute of play, including a layup from freshman Shannon Evans with just 2.7 seconds left to tie the game up at 6565. Following a Rocket timeout, Toledo threw the ball the length of the court and into the hands of Nathan Boothe, who found Brown for the game-winning jumper. UB had its opportunities in the second half, leading 5857 with 4:16 left. Neither team found the scoring column for nearly two minutes, but then Toledo regained the lead as UB senior Javon McCrea was unable to hold on to a defensive rebound as a Rocket defender caught him in the eye. Toledo’s Jordan Lauf was able to lay it in for the easy two and Toledo either led or the game was tied for the remainder of the contest. The Bulls got out to a hot start as they opened up a 13-point lead in the first half. Senior Joshua Freelove, who played his freshman season at Toledo, scored 11 first-half points. UB held on to a 12-10 lead when they went on a 14-3 run, capped off on a fast-break dunk from junior Xavier Ford. The Rockets were able to cut into the lead after back-to-back three pointers from Brown. UB regained a nine-point lead, but Toledo, which went to the line 10 times in the opening half, hit eight of them to keep the deficit manageable. McCrea finished with his seventh double-double of the year finishing with 20 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. Freelove added 16 points, shooting 4-for-6 from behind the arc. Junior Will Regan added nine points and eight rebounds, while Oldham finished with eight points and four assists. He played just 25 minutes due to foul trouble. Sophomore Justin Moss had six rebounds in seven minutes of action.

The victory improves UB to 9-5 on the year and 3-1 in the league, while the Bulls remain a perfect 8-0 at Alumni Arena.

Kent State pulled within 10 at 65-55, but UB quickly went on a 6-0 run to regain that largest lead at 71-55 with 53 second left. The Golden Flashes scored the final five points of the game.

Kent State regained the edge, taking its largest lead of the game at 26-19 with 3:53 left in the half, but the Bulls answered with an 8-0 run late in the half as Regan converted on a three-point play to give UB the 27-26 lead. However, Kent State got a three pointer from Devareaux Manley to take the 29-27 lead into the half. Regan led three players in double figures, recording his first career double-double.

MUNCIE, IN – The University at Buffalo men’s basketball team was unable to hold on to a six-point halftime lead as cold shooting from behind the arc caught up to the Bulls in a 71-68 loss at Ball State. The Bulls are now 9-6 on the season and tied for second in the MAC East with a 3-2 conference record. UB’s recipe for success had been strong second half play, but tonight the Bulls were outscored 41-32 over the final 20 minutes and uncharacteristically turned it over nine times in the second half. UB had come into the game with just 18 second-half turnover through the first four conference games. Neither team held on to more than a seven-point advantage, which the Bulls had with 2:13 left in the first half. Despite UB’s struggles, senior Javon McCrea had a dominant night, which began with an 18-point first half. He scored half of Buffalo’s points in the half, including four and-1 opportunities. A jumper from junior Will Regan gave the Bulls their largest lead at 33-26 and Buffalo continued to hold a six-point lead into the break. However, the Cardinals quickly tied the game up early in the second half and neither team held more than a fourpoint lead over the final 17 minutes of action. The Bulls led by four, 65-61, with 3:27 left, but the Cardinals responded by going on a 6-0 run to take a 67-65 lead with 1:25 left. The two teams traded baskets and the Bulls got the ball back down by two, but McCrea split a pair of free throws and Jesse Berry knocked in two free throws to give Ball State a 71-68 lead, which turned out to be their largest lead of the game. Senior Joshua Freelove had a look from three, but missed and Ball State went back to the free throw line. They missed on the front-end of a one-and-one and the Bulls had one more look at three, but it could not fall. McCrea moved into third place on UB’s all-time scoring list as he surpassed Mike Martinho and now has 1,428 points, just 105 from second place. McCrea had his eighth double-double of the year adding 11 rebounds. Freelove also finished in double figures with 15 points. Senior Jarod Oldham did a nice job passing the ball tonight as he tied his career high with 11 assists, turning it over just one time. He also added seven points, a block and a steal. Regan added eight points, seven rebounds and a pair of blocks, while Xavier Ford had four points and three rebounds. The Bulls shot 1-of-14 from three-point range, their lowest total of the season, but were very efficient from inside the arc, shooting 25-44 (56.8%).

DEKALB, IL – The University at Buffalo men’s basketball team gutted out a tough 75-67 victory at Northern Illinois on Saturday afternoon, putting three players in double figures as they won their 10th game of the season and they improve to 4-2 in MAC play. The game was highly-contested throughout as the host Huskies got out to the early 9-2 lead, which was due in part to early turnovers from UB, who had six before the first media timeout. However, the Bulls got their offense in synch and they were able to do something that plagued them on Thursday, which is make three pointers. The Bulls hit five of their first six shots from deep, including a pair from junior Will Regan, as they opened a nine-point first half lead at 32-23 with 2:10 left. Northern Illinois scored the final four points of the half as UB went into the break, up 34-29. Buffalo regained its nine-point lead early in the second half, but a little scuffle turned into three technical fouls being handed out, including a pair to UB. The Bulls led by six with 14:16 left when a second technical was called on Joshua Freelove, who finished the day with 13 points. The loss of Freelove called on the emergence of other individuals and the Bulls got that from senior Auraum Nuiriankh and freshman Deyshonee Much. The Huskies came back to tie the game up at 48-48, but the Bulls went on a 6-0 run, capped off on a fast break layup from freshman Shannon Evans. Northern Illinois cut it back to two, but Evans hit another big shot, getting a friendly roll on a three-pointer to put UB back up five. NIU cut it back to four with 3:01 left, but senior Javon McCrea answered with a thunderous dunk along the baseline to put the Bulls back up by six. The Huskies didn’t get any closer than five as UB hit seven of its final 10 free throws, including a 4-for-4 performance from Regan. McCrea had his second straight 20-point game as he finished with 20 points and nine rebounds, including 13 of those points coming in the second half. Freelove finished with 13 points as he was 6-of-7 from the floor. Regan added 12 points, four rebounds and three assists. Senior Jarod Oldham had seven points despite being in foul trouble for most of the day. Evans stepped into his place and had eight points, five assists and two steals. Sophomore Justin Moss gave really good minutes in the first half as he had six points and Nuiriankh finished with five points and three rebounds.

BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo men’s basketball team clinched at least a share of the MAC East Division title on Saturday afternoon as the Bulls outscored the visiting Miami (OH) RedHawks, 50-25, in the second half en route to a 78-55 victory at Alumni Arena. Senior Joshua Freelove scored a career-high 24 points as the Bulls improved to 18-8 on the year and 12-4 in conference play. The 12 conference victories tie for the most in UB’s MAC history. The Bulls got off to a quick start on Saturday as they opened up a 16-9 lead just seven and a half minutes into the game following a three pointer from freshman Shannon Evans. The Bulls continued to lead 18-11 when Miami went on a 16-2 run to take its largest lead of the game, 27-20 with four minutes left in the half. However, the Bulls were able to get the momentum back. UB went on an 8-0, taking a one-point lead, but Miami hit a three before the buzzer to take a 30-28 advantage into the half. The second half became a totally different story as the Bulls put up a season-high 50 points in the final twenty minutes, doubling up the RedHawks, 50-25. UB shot 68% from the floor in the second half, including 63.6% from three point range. The second half charge was led by Freelove, who scored 21 of his 24 points in the final half. In fact, Freelove scored just four points fewer than the entire Miami offense in the second half. The Bulls led 52-45 with 9:46 left when a Freelove three pointer ignited a 19-3 run which was capped off on a three-point play from Javon McCrea with 4:14 left as the Bulls led 71-48. Another three pointer from Freelove gave the Bulls their largest lead of the game, 74-49 with 2:32 left. Freelove now has over 20 points in each of UB’s last two home games as he reached a new UB career high with his 24 points today.

He led four players in double figures including McCrea, who had his 15th double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Despite being in foul trouble for much of the day, senior Jarod Oldham finished with 11 points, five assists and four steals. Oldham was 4-of-5 from the floor.

BUFFALO, NY - Off a career-high 34 points from senior Javon McCrea, the University at Buffalo men’s basketball team became MAC East Division Champions on Saturday, defeating Bowling Green, 88-65, in front of 5,452 fans for Senior Day. The Bulls improved their record to 19-9 and finish conference play with a school-record 13 victories. After a pre-game celebration of UB’s five-member senior class, head coach Bobby Hurley started all five seniors: Corey Raley-Ross, Auraum Nuiriankh, Joshua Freelove, Jarod Oldham and McCrea. The Bulls even got an early three-pointer from Nuiriankh. The Falcons never led by more than two in the contest, which they held with 15:24 left before the Bulls answered with a Shannon Evans three pointer. The Bulls ended up going on a 12-4 run to open up a 20-14 lead. The Bulls had their biggest lead of the half right at the end, going into the break up 41-31. The second half turned into a show that the season-high crowd won’t soon forget. The Falcons cut the lead into single digits at 48-39, but the Bulls answered with an 11-1 run, which was capped off on an unbelievable fast-break dunk where Evans passed the ball off the backboard and sophomore Justin Moss slammed it home. A layup from Evans with 9:32 left gave the Bulls a 66-42 lead, but the Falcons cut into the lead, trimming the Buffalo advantage to 71-58. However, a layup from McCrea ignited an 11-1 run, which put the Bulls up 82-59 with 2:57 remaining. UB went on to score the final six points of the game, with the final exclamation point coming on a put-back dunk from Moss. McCrea reached a new career-high with 34 points, including hitting his first ever three-pointer on Senior Day. He went 13-for-18 from the floor and 7-of-10 from the free throw line.

CLEVELAND, OH – A career night from senior guard Josh Freelove would not be enough, as the Buffalo Bulls fell to Eastern Michigan 69-64 in the quarterfinal round of the Mid-American Conference tournament Thursday night. Freelove would hit 8-15 threes and score a career-high 26 points, but the Eagles’ top-ranked field goal defense stifled the UB interior. The Bulls struggled with the Eastern Michigan zone defense early, but was able get an early boost from threes on three straight possessions to take a 9-5 lead through the first four minutes, one from Will Reagan and the next two from Freelove. The Bulls would hit a slump from that basket at the 16:12 mark, going without another field goal for the next seven minutes while Eastern Michigan would embark on a 15-2 run to take a 20-11 lead before Freelove would strike again from deep. The Eagles would stymie the interior offense for the Bulls, but Freelove would help bridge the gap with his outside shooting. He hit his fourth three of the first half to help the team to a quick 8-2 run that brought the score to 26-24 at the final media timeout. His masterful opening 20 minutes would close with his fifth three with 25 seconds left that gave the Bulls a 32-29 lead at the break. He would finish 5-9 in the half, and the Bulls would make eight threes on 16 attempts. On the flip side, the interior offense never clicked in the half, making just two of 16 shots from inside. Javon McCrea would go 0-7 and his just two free throws, but made up for it with nine rebounds and three assists in the half. As the second half got underway, Freelove would not leave his shooting hand in the locker room. The senior hit three of his first four threes before the first media timeout, forcing the Eagles to call time after his third three gave the Bulls a 42-34 lead with 16:56 to play in the game. McCrea would have a memorable half of his own, as his free throw at the 18:14 mark gave the MAC Player of the Year his 2000th career point. The senior forward would not make a shot from the floor until the 14 minute mark of the second half, but his interior defense and rebounding would make an impact. His first basket would give Buffalo a 47-37 lead, but the Eagles would not relent. It would make a 10-0 run to tie the game before a Will Regan three-point play gave UB the lead back with 9:31 left to play.

BASKETBALL RECORD BOOK
UB MEN’S BASKETBALL HISTORY The State University at Buffalo, until 1962 the private University of Buffalo, has enjoyed success on the basketball court from its first official season, 1915-16, when Coach Art Powell’s team posted a 7-4 record, through the era of Coaches Mal Eiken and Len Serfustini in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, to recent years. In its history on the hardwood, UB has won 1,055 games and lost 1,031 against some of the top Division I, II and III teams in the country. The program gained national recognition under Coach Powell, who was born in Springfield, MA, seven years before Dr. James Naismith invented the sport. Powell, who played basketball and football at Syracuse, class of ’07, had a 198-190 record in 28 seasons, including 28 straight wins and 45-5 for three seasons (1929-32), with triumphs over Pitt, West Virginia, Syracuse and Yale. Powell’s 1930-31 team was 15-0, the best mark in UB history, captained by Bob Harrington, a member of the University’s Athletic Hall of Fame, along with 1922-23 captain Dr. James J. Ailinger and 1931-32 captain Ed Malanowicz, both outstanding all-around athletes. In the early 1930s, UB’s nickname was changed from “Bisons” to “Bulls” and in 1938 the program moved from the “old barn” that still stands at Rotary Field to Clark Hall on the South (Main Street) Campus. UB had no athletic program during the war years of 1943-45, but returned to the court in 1945-46, coached by former captain Harrington. Then Eiken, an All-American at Minnesota class of ‘36, took command as the first full-time faculty member to coach basketball. Eiken’s 1946-47 squad, captained by football star Lou Corriere had a 12-5 season, capped by a game with Buffalo State before 11,891 fans at Memorial Auditorium. Eiken’s 1949-50 club was 15-10, and doubleheaders at “The Aud” attracted 10,000 spectators. UB Hall of Famer Jack Chalmers concluded his career in 1950-51 as the Bulls’ first 1,000-point scorer (1,003), and Hal Kuhn was named the outstanding sophomore to appear at The Aud. Eiken’s 1951-52 Bulls were 18-6 and played in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Tournament, where Hall of Famer Kuhn ended the season with a record 458 points and his career with 1,065. Freshman Jim Horne tallied 374 that winter to set a fast pace for a record career of 1,833 points and eventually a place in the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. In 1956, UB President C l i f fo rd C . Fu r n a s, a n Olympic athlete, initiated a “Five-Year Plan” that would Coach Ed Muto (left) with upgrade the total sports Bob Vartanian (right), UB’s first player program and ignite the Bulls drafted in the NBA. He was chosen by the Buffalo Braves in 1973.

on a trail of banner headlines. Len Serfustini, a 1950 UB grad, replaced Eiken as coach and in 14 seasons (1956-70) his Bulls would notch a 205-106 record and play in six NCAA Championship Tournaments. The first team coached by “Serf” went 18-7, captained by Joe Tontillo (801 career points), and was selected to play in the inaugural NCAA Small College Division Tournament. Chuck Daniels (852 career points), an all-around athlete, was named to play with the College All-Stars. The 1957-58 Bulls were 17-5 and continued a 21-game winning streak at Clark Hall and UB’s four straight NCAA tournament appearances (1957-60). UB returned to NCAA post-season play in 1962-63 behind All-ECAC star Gary Hanley ( 5 9 8 c a re e r rebounds), and in 196465 went 193, the Bulls’ best modern r e c o r d , opening the season with five wins, snapped at Te n n e s s e e , followed by 14 straight and a second-place finish in the NCAA MidEast Regional Tournament. Ed Muto (left) and Len Serfustini (right), UB’s all-time winningest coach. Future head coach Dan Bazzani co-captained the 1964-65 squad, which also included Harvey Poe (791 career points) and Norb Baschnagel, an NCAA All-Tournament First Team choice. Ed Muto (Buffalo ‘50), a Serfustini teammate who had piloted the UB freshman program to a 184-91 record in 14 seasons (1956-70), took the helm in 1970-71 and in three campaigns (1970-73) posted a 37-33 record, 16-8 in his final year. Individual standouts under Muto included captain Bob Vartanian, who scored 33 points in a win over Brown, and Curtis Blackmore, one of the best big men to ever play for UB. Blackmore, who scored a three-season record 1,287 points, ranks as the No. 2 all-time rebounder (1,175), and still owns six UB records including career (16.8) and season (17.8) rebound average and single-game rebounds (32 vs. UTChattanooga). Leo Richardson (Morris ’54), the first black head basketball coach at UB, moved up from his junior varsity post in 1973 and, although

UB MEN’S BASKETBALL HISTORY his five-season (1973-78) mark was 35-92, he produced several outstanding players while competing against strong Division I foes. Otis Horne hit for 994 career points, grabbed 457 rebounds and set UB’s Aud record with 38 points vs. Catholic University. Horace Brawley netted 835 career points including 36 at Gannon, the Bulls’ road mark until Mike Martinho hit for 37 during the 1995-96 year. In 1974, Richardson recruited a 20-year old out of a North Carolina factory who was destined to become one of UB’s all-time greats, his departure signaling the end of an era in Bulls basketball. Sam Pellom, a 6-9, 220 center nicknamed “The Franchise,” epitomized UB’s “Big Time” basketball program. Pellom, who went on to play four seasons with the NBA Atlanta Hawks, led the nation (NCAA Division I) in rebounding (16.2 average) as a sophomore, receiving All-American honorable mention, finished his career as the Bulls’ all-time rebounder (1,296), No. 2 scorer (1,403), and set eight UB records including blocked shots in a season (155) and career (375). Because SUNY prohibited athletic grants-in-aid, UB declared for Division III status in 1977-78, after which Richardson resigned and was replaced by Bill Hughes (Greenville ‘57) in 1978-79, the Bulls’ first season in SUNYAC. Hughes guided the 1979-80 Bulls to a 17-10 mark, their first winning mark in eight years, 10-0 in the SUNYAC Western Division, to second place in the conference tourney, and was named SUNYAC Coach of the Year. Tom Parsons was the West’s Player of the Year; Nate Bouie, 500 career rebounds, and Mike Freeman, UB records for field goal and free throw percentages, were also named After a stellar career at UB, All-Conference. Sam Pellom went on to play in the NBA for the Atlanta Parsons repeated as the Hawks. West’s top player in 1980-81, and the 1981-82 Bulls set a record for games played (30, 13-17), won the SUNYAC championship by defeating defending NCAA Division III titlist Potsdam State, and advanced to the NCAA Division III East Regional, UB’s first postseason appearance since 1965. John Fitzpatrick, the SUNYAC Tournament MVP, and Karon Henderson were All-Conference picks. Hughes, whose four-season record was 49-70 overall, but 49-26 in Division III, was replaced on an interim basis in 1982-83 by Ken Pope (Buffalo ’74), his former top assistant. The ’82-83 campaign was significant in that the Bulls played

Dan Bazzani (Buffalo ‘65), who had a successful nine-season tenure at Niagara County Community College, returned to his alma mater in 1983-84 and guided the Bulls to their first winning record (14-13) in four years. He was the first rookie UB coach to finish over .500 since 1956-57. Led by All-SUNYAC picks Vince Brown and Greg Franklin, the Bulls stunned defending conference titlist Potsdam, 60-59, before bowing to arch-rival Buffalo State College in the championship game, UB’s fifth straight conference tournament appearance. The 1984-85 Bulls roared to a 7-1 start, including an 87-78 upset of Division II Gannon at Erie, PA, but UB was forced to forfeit those wins because of an administrative error concerning eligibility, lost its top two scorers and rebounders and finished 5-19. Bazzani got it rolling again in ‘85-86, the Bulls notching a 14-11 mark that included two tournament titles and a victory over Final Four team Jersey City State. UB continued its resurgence in 1986-87, winning 15 of 25 games, 13-7 vs. Division III foes, captured two more tournament titles and defeated arch-rival Buffalo State. All-SUNYAC forwards Anthony Miller (14.6 ppg, 8.1 rpg) and Shannon Greer (13.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg) paced the Bulls. Point guard Michael Washington led in assists (143) and steals (48). In 1987-88, the Bulls went 14-13 before going 16-14 during the 1988-89 campaign. That season, UB won the Pocono Classic by defeating host East Stroudsburg in the championship game. A threegame, week-long road trip to California highlighted the schedule and confirmed the University’s desire to compete again at the NCAA Division I level in 1991. In the 1988-89 season, Bazzani’s club went 16-14 and advanced to the championship game of the Mideast Conference before bowing to host Philadelphia Textile.

Classic. In 1990-91, UB went 13-14, the first losing season in Bazzani’s UB career, but the Bulls posted eight consecutive victories early in the campaign and successfully defended their Shooter’s Roundup Classic title. Senior captain Ricky Coleman closed out his UB career by becoming the team’s fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,258 points while junior Rob Middlebrooks became the seventh player in UB history to eclipse the 1,000-point mark. In 1992-93, the club entered the Division I arena again and, while posting a 2-26 record, had a number of outstanding individual accomplishments, including the play of senior John Blalock. The guard scored 590 points – the most of any player in UB history, while leading the club in scoring in 18 of its 28 games. In its second season at the Division I level, UB finished with a record of 5-22, dropping its first eight and last six contests of the campaign. UB doubled its 1993-94 win total with 10 and took 10 other teams down to the wire, facing top competition such as “Elite Eight” team Boston College, Pittsburgh, Duquesne and Pennsylvania. A 9-2 start in 1994-95, including wins at Rutgers and the title at the Iona Classic, propelled the Bulls to the most wins in 30 years at 18-10. The Bulls got outstanding seasons from two-year captain Modie Cox, Kelvin Robinson, Myron Banks and junior Rasaun Young, who was named to the first-team All-Mid-Continent team. The 1995-96 season saw the Bulls finish 13-14 after losing preseason Mid-Con Player of the Year Rasaun Young before the opening tip-off with an ankle injury. Sophomore guard Mike Martinho picked up the scoring in his place, averaging 17.7 ppg and being named second team All MidContinent. Freshman Bernard Wheeler and Robert Harris each were named to the Mid-Con All-Newcomer team. In 1996-97, the Bulls finished 17-11 and reached the semifinals of the Mid-Con Tournament before an overtime loss to Western Illinois ended their season.

The 1998-99 season was yet another step up the ladder for UB athletics climb into national prominence as the Bulls joined the MidAmerican Conference. The MAC is one of the oldest conferences in the nation and has always been competitive in the national spotlight. It was a tough mountain for the Bulls to climb, and with a young team UB suffered some tough losses, finishing the season with a 5-24 record and a 1-17 mark in the MAC. In 1999-2000, the Bulls increased their conference wins to three, finishing the MAC at 3-15 and 5-23 overall. Reggie Witherspoon took over as head coach of the program after serving as the interim coach through most of the season and looks to build on the UB history and climb to a level of respectability in the MAC. In 2000-01, Buffalo just missed its mark, dropping 12 regular season games by 10 points or less, the second-most in the country. The Bulls, who were also hit with several injuries throughout the season, finished 4-24. In 2001-02, the program took a major step toward becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Mid-American Conference. The Bulls finished 12-18, their best mark since joining the MAC in 1998. In fact, their eight-game improvement in the win column from the previous season was the sixth highest among Division I teams. In 2002-03, the Bulls fought through a tough 5-23 season.
