Junior Marissa Hamilton finished with 11 points, Loren Christie scored nine points in her first game back from injury and Hanna Hall and Theresa Onwuka also added nine points apiece.<br /> <br /> Ohio jumped out to a 7-0 run taking advantage of a two plus minute UB scoring drought to open the game, before an Adebola Adeyeye offensive putback and a Schiffer three cut the lead to 10-5, but the Bobcats would rattle off a 6-2 run to take a 16-7 lead at the first media timeout. Christie drilled a big three at the top of the key to cut the lead to 19-14 but Ohio closed the quarter on a 6-0 run to take a 25-14 lead at the end of the first.<br /> <br /> The two teams would trade baskets to start the second quarter before UB put together a 5-0 run, capped by a Schiffer second chance three, to cut the lead to 29-21 but Ohio converted on a transition bucket through contact to go up 32-21 at the media timeout. The Bulls would hang tough, putting together a 9-2 run, highlighted by a pair of triples from Schiffer and Hall, to cut the lead to 37-30 at the 1:15 mark and a second chance layup by Adeyeye would pull UB within seven at the half.<br /> <br /> Ohio would extend their lead to 13 at the 8:09 mark of the third, but an 8-0 UB run, highlighted by a Christie strong drive to the basket and an Onwuka three would cut the lead to 47-39 at the 6:30 mark, and after another strong take by Christie the lead would be trimmed to 49-44 at the media timeout. Ohio would go back up by nine with just under a minute to go but Hamilton drilled a three from the corner in the final seconds to cut the lead to 57-51 at the end of three quarters of play.<br /> <br /> Ohio started strong once again to open the fourth quarter, extending their lead to 12 at the media timeout. The Bulls put together a 5-0 run on a Hamilton transition three and an Onwuka bucket to cut the lead to seven at the 2:24 mark but that would be as close as the Bulls would get as Ohio was able to seal the victory from the charity stripe, going 4-for-5 from the line in the final minute.<br /> <br /> The Bulls won the battle on the glass for the eight straight game, outrebounding Ohio 42-36, but the Bobcats were able to turn 22 UB turnovers into 29 points and held a 28-24 edge in points in the paint, while shooting just over 42% from behind the arc.<br /> <br /> &#34;This is a veteran team that we just played,&#34; said Felisha Legette-Jack. &#34;This is the same team that's been together for the last three years. They are road-tested against Power Five teams and I thought we did a good job of keeping it close, but I think when we play the next time we are going to adjust a little bit better defensively.  <br /> <br /> The Bulls continue their homestand as they welcome Bowling Green to Alumni Arena on Wednesday, January 15, at 7pm.<br />

It went on to be a 22-2 run as a pair of free throws from Josh Mballa put the Bulls ahead 22-13 with 10:25 left.<br /> <br /> Miami tied the game up at 29-29 and then the RedHawks went on a 9-2 run to take a 38-31 lead.  Buffalo pulled within two but five straight Miami points put the RedHawks into the break, up 43-36.<br /> <br /> Miami scored the first bucket of the second half to take a nine-point lead and they continued to lead 54-49 when the Bulls scored 10 straight, capped off on a three by Segu, giving Buffalo a 59-54 lead and the Bulls never looked back.<br /> <br /> A triple from senior Davonta Jordan gave Buffalo a 71-62 lead, its largest of the second half with 7:57 left. A fast-break dunk from Mballa put UB ahead 76-68 with 3:51 remaining, but Miami would make one last push. <br /> <br /> With the Bulls leading by six with 18 seconds left, the RedHawks scored four straight to pull within two. Segu hit a pair of free throws to go back up four and the Bulls hunkered down on defense following the pair, causing a Miami five seconds call.<br /> <br /> &#34;I was really happy with the way we defended tonight and we challenged the guys to play with energy and get back to Blue Collar basketball and I thought we did that,&#34; said head coach Jim Whitesell.  &#34;Offensively, the ball moved much better and we got balanced scoring up and down the lineup.&#34;<br /> <br /> Graves led all players with 25 points as he went 9-of-16 from the floor, adding three rebounds and three assists.<br /> <br /> Segu finished with 16 points off the bench, and he had a team-high six assists.  Jordan played all but 28 seconds in the game and had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while chipping in five assists.<br /> <br /> It was one of two double-doubles for the Bulls as Mballa finished with 12 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.  Sophomore Jeenathan Williams added 11 points.<br /> <br /> Defensively, the Bulls did a nice job on Miami's leading scorer Nike Simbande, who scored just eight points on 4-of-11 shooting.  UB held a 43-40 advantage on the glass and had six blocked shots and eight steals.<br /> <br /> Buffalo is now 1-2 in league play for the third time in the last five years, finishing with those starts in both 2016 and 2017.<br /> <br /> UB returns home on Tuesday night when the Bulls host Ohio at 7pm at Alumni Arena.

  • Bulls Head To Miami (OH) For Nationally-Televised Affair
    1/9/20

    <img alt="HUDDLE" src="https://ubbulls.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2019/12/30/HUDDLE_CELEB_20191230mbb_0879web.jpg" /><br /><br /><p><strong>Buffalo (9-6, 0-2 MAC) at Miami (OH) (7-8, 0-2 MAC)<br /> January</strong><strong> 10, 2020</strong><br /> <b>Millett Hall (Oxford, OH)</b> <strong>- 7:00 pm</strong></p> <strong>Bulls on the Air</strong><br /> <strong>Radio</strong><br /> Buffalo - ESPN 1520<br /> Rochester - Fox Sports 1280<br /> Hornell - 1480 WLEA <p><strong>Television</strong><br /> CBS Sports Network<br /> <br /> <strong>10 Things To Know About Today's Game</strong><br /> 1. The Bulls continue their two-game road swing on Friday night as Buffalo will play its first divisional contest at Miami (OH).  Both the Bulls and the RedHawks are looking for their first conference win of the year.<br /> 2. Buffalo is looking to avoid an 0-3 start in conference play for the first time since 2013. With a victory, the Bulls will improve to 1-2 in MAC play, it would actually be the third time in the last five year that Buffalo would have that record through three league games (2016, 2017).<br /> 3. UB has used the same starting lineup for all 15 games this season and all five players are averaging in double figures. According to available data, Buffalo is the only team in the nation to have all five of its starters averaging in double figures in points.<br /> 4. Buffalo is currently fourth in the nation in offensive rebounding, averaging 14.87 offensive boards a game. Individually, sophomore Josh Mballa is 13th in the nation in offensive rebounds, averaging 3.93 per game. UB joins Duke, Eastern Michigan, Lamar, and Oral Roberts as the only teams with multiple games with 20 or more offensive rebounds. <br /> 5. Senior Davonta Jordan leads the MAC and is 23rd in the nation in total steals with 36. Jordan is also averaging 5.4 assists per game and has 435 for his career, fourth in school history. Next up on the list is Turner Battle (2001-05) who had 458 career assists.<br /> 6. As the previous decade has come to a close, the Bulls concluded their most successful 10-year period in school history, winning 212 games over that period, the third most in the Mid-American Conference, behind Akron and Kent State.  The Bulls had four MAC Players of the Year over the last 10 years, joining Ohio as the only two schools with multiple Players of the Year during the last decade.<br /> 7. Friday night's game will mark the second time that the Bulls have played a member of the Coleman-Lands family. Miami has the talented redshirt sophomore Isaiah Coleman-Lands, while earlier this year Buffalo faced Isaiah's brother Jalen, who plays at DePaul.  Jalen scored 17 points in a 74-69 loss to Buffalo.<br /> 8. The Bulls continue to have the third shortest possession time in the nation at 14.3 seconds per possession. The only schools that have a shorted length are FIU and Green Bay. According to KenPom, the adjusted tempo for UB is also sixth nationally.<br /> 9.  Sophomore Jeenathan Williams has scored in double figures in six straight games.<br /> 10. Buffalo head coach Jim Whitesell has won 396 games during his head coaching career.  Currently, Whitesell is 51st amongst all active head coaches in career wins.<br /> <br /> <strong>Bulls Meet First MAC East Opponent Friday Night</strong><br />     The Bulls are looking to snap a season-long two-game losing streak on Friday night when Buffalo plays Miami (OH) at Millett Hall in their first divisional game of the year. UB had not lost back-to-back games since the 2017-18 season, when it lost games at Syracuse (12/19/17) and at Texas A&amp;M (12/21/17).  Prior to Tuesday, Buffalo had not lost consecutive conference games since late in the 2016-17 season against Kent State (2/21/17) and Akron (2/24/17).<br />     Senior Antwain Johnson led the Bulls in scoring in the game at Ball State on Tuesday evening. Sophomore Jeenathan Williams add 14 points as he has scored in double figures in six straight games.  Like Buffalo, Miami is looking for its first conference victory on Friday night.  The Bulls snapped a two-game skid at Millett Hall last season with a 77-69 win in Oxford.<br /> <strong>    <br /> You Get A Win, And You Get A Win</strong><br />     Since the start of the 2017-18 season, the University at Buffalo men's basketball team has won 68 games, tied for 10th most nationally. Gonzaga leads the way nationally with 81 victories over that time.  As for MAC programs, the second most wins over the last two plus seasons comes courtesy of Toledo, who has 56, which is tied for 50th.<br /> <br /> <strong>Dance Dance Revolution</strong><br />     The Bulls have reached the NCAA Tournament four times in the last five years (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019). UB is one of just 28 teams that have played in four NCAA Tournaments over the last five seasons.  Of those 28 teams, UB is one of just five to have earned their league's automatic bid each time joining Gonzaga (WCC), Kentucky (SEC), Iona (MAAC), and New Mexico State (WAC).<br /> <br /> <strong>On The Rebound</strong><br />     The Bulls are fourth in the nation in offensive rebounding as they are averaging 14.87 per game. Only once this season has Buffalo failed to hit double figures in offensive rebounding, which was at Vanderbilt. Sophomore Josh Mballa is 13th in the nation in offensive boards, averaging 3.93 per game. Sophomore Jeenathan Williams had a career best seven offensive boards against Northern Illinois.  UB had a season high 53 rebounds in the win over DePaul, its most in a game since last year's MAC Quarterfinal win over Akron when they finished with 55 rebounds. The Bulls added 50 rebounds against Canisius marking the second time they have had at least 50 boards in a game.  UB did it three times altogether last season in 36 games. In the win over Niagara, UB held the Purple Eagles to just 23 boards, the lowest by an opponent this year and the fewest by the opposition since Le Moyne had 22 on Dec, 5, 2018. UB has recorded more rebounds than its opponent nine times this year, including in three of the last four games, three of those being the Big 4 victories to round out non-conference play.  The Bulls also held a slim rebounding edge at Ball State on Tuesday night.<br /> <br /> <strong>Whitesell Back In Charge</strong><br />     For the first time since the 2010-11 season, UB head coach Jim Whitesell is back in charge of a basketball program.  Whitesell, who served the last four years as associate head coach for the Bulls, was named the 14th head coach in program history this past April.<br />     Whitesell brings a long and accomplished resume into the season.  His previous head coaching job was at Loyola (Chicago) where he was in charge of the Ramblers' program from 2004-11, finishing with a 109-107 record in seven seasons in charge. He is one of only five coaches in the history of Loyola Basketball with more than 100 wins. Prior to his time at Loyola, Whitesell also served as head coach at Elmhurst College and Lewis University, where he had his most success, going 214-126 in 12  seasons.  Recently he was inducted into the Lewis Hall of Fame.      <br />     Following his time at Loyola, Whitesell made assistant coaching stops at Saint Louis and St. John's where he worked for a pair of legendary head coaches in the late Rick Majerus and Steve Lavin before joining Nate Oats in Buffalo. Whitesell picked up his first career UB win on Nov. 11 against Nazareth and now has a career record of 396-307 in his tenure as a head coach. The 396 wins are 51st amongst all active head coaches.<br /> <br /> <strong>Air Jordan</strong><br />     The Bulls will look to the veteran presence of senior point guard Davonta Jordan who is entering his fourth year with the program.  <br />     Jordan has been named the MAC's all-defensive team each of the last two seasons as he has recorded 93 steals over the last two year.  In each of his three seasons, Jordan as constantly increased his scoring, capped off by averaging 7.4 points per game last year. In the season opener, Jordan led the Bulls with 17 points, 13 of those coming over the final 12 minutes of the game.  He tied his career high with four three-pointers, while adding six rebounds and four steals. <br />     In the Charleston Classic, Jordan had a double-double with 10 points and tied his career high with 10 assists in the win over Towson.  In the final game against Missouri St., Jordan set a then career high in scoring with 25 points, hitting 5-of-6 shots from three point range. Jordan had seven steals against William &amp; Mary, fourth in school history in a single game and tied for the most by a player this year. In the victory over DePaul, Jordan became just the fifth player in school history to surpass the 400-assist mark for his career.  He also finished just shy of a triple-double with 12 points, a career high nine rebounds, and eight assists. It was the first of two straight games where he flirted with a triple-double, adding 14 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. <br />     Jordan notched a new career high with 26 points in the win over Canisius, tying his career high with nine rebounds. He had eight assists in the win over Niagara as he was named the MAC East Player of the Week for the first time in his career.<br /> <br /> <strong>From Beyond The Graves</strong><br />     Junior Jayvon Graves was named to the preseason All-MAC East Division team as he is coming off a sophomore season where he started in 35 games and averaged 9.7 points per game. He added 4.2 rebounds per contest and 67 assists.  He scored in double figures 17 times last season, including a career high 26 points against Ohio.  He finished with 17 points in the MAC Championship win against Bowling Green and added 13 points in Buffalo's NCAA Tournament First Round victory over Arizona State.<br />     Graves had 528 career points through two seasons, and has already scored 237 this year. Graves is a native of Malvern, OH where he played his high school at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, the same school as Lebron James. He opened the 2019 season with 15 points against Dartmouth and added 17 more against Nazareth. Graves had 17 points in the win over Harvard, including a buzzer-beating three.  He had his best night in Charleston against Towson where the junior finished with 25 points and eight rebounds. Graves added 24 points on a career-best 10 made field goals against William &amp; Mary and added 21 points against DePaul. He added 22 points in the win over Niagara and set a career high with 28 points in the win over St. Bonaventure. Graves has scored in double figures in 14 of 15 games this season and he leads UB in scoring at 16.7 points per game.<br /> <br /> <strong>No Sophomore Slump</strong><br />     The Bulls are relying on a pair of sophomores this season, who both saw action in all 36 games last year, but played limited minutes.  Both Jeenathan Williams and Ronaldo Segu have already set career highs in all offensive categories.<br />     Playing the sixth man roll, Segu had 17 points against Nazareth and a career high 21 against Harvard.  He has shot just under 87% from the floor in those two games as well.  He had 12 assists and just two turnovers in those games. Segu had 14 points in the win over DePaul, including draining a pair of threes right before the half. He added 14 more points in the win over Canisius.<br />     Williams has started in every game so far for the Bulls. He finished with 10 points and eight rebounds in Buffalo's win over Harvard.  Williams was named to the preseason All-Big 4 second team prior to the year.  Williams scored a career best 17 points in the victory over Missouri State as he went 6-of-12 from the floor, including a pair of three pointers.  On the defensive end he chipped in two blocks and three steals. Williams had 13 points against Army West Point, including three offensive rebounds. He drained a huge three-pointer late in the win over Canisius and finished with 12 points against the Griffs. He notched his first career double-double with career bests of 19 points and 10 rebounds against Niagara. Williams has scored in double figures in six straight games, adding 12 points against St. Bonaventure and 17 against Northern Illinois. He chipped in 14 against Ball State.<br /> <strong>    <br /> Newish Faces Emerge</strong><br />     Two players that were a huge part of the team's success, but were unable to see action were senior transfers Antwain Johnson and Gabe Grant.  Both players sat out the 2018-19 campaign due to NCAA Transfer rules, but served as valuable members of the scout team.<br />     Now with their transfer year in the review mirror, both players are ready to give it their all for one final season.<br />     Johnson, a transfer from Middle Tennessee State, started in Buffalo's exhibition win over Daemen and had 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting.  Johnson lit it up from three against Harvard as he finished with 19 points, including going 5-of-7 from three point range. In two seasons at Middle Tennessee State, Johnson averaged 7.3 points per game, including 10.3 points per contest in 2017-18.  His career high in scoring came on Feb. 3, 2018 at Charlotte when he scored 23 points. Johnson hit a pair of game-winning free throws in the victory over Missouri St., while also claiming the Blue Collar hard hat against the Bears. Johnson is third on the team in scoring at 11.2 points per game.<br />     Grant, who came to the Bulls from Houston, was impressive off the bench in the exhibition opener, leading the Bulls in scoring with 19 points and six rebounds.  He went 7-of-11 from the field and 4-of-7 from three-point range against the Wildcats. Grant played in 24 games in his lone season at Houston, scoring a career best 12 points against East Carolina on Feb. 25, 2018. <br /> <br /> <strong>It's Still Brock And Roll To Me</strong><br />     Junior Brock Bertram readies for his third season of action this upcoming year. Bertram, who redshirted his first season, has continued to improve each year. Last season, the Apple Vally, MN native played in 20 games, averaging 1.1 points per contest.  He shot over 61% from the floor when he was out there.  More impressive was the performance of Bertram on the scout team over the last three years, a big reason for the success of three-time MAC Sixth Man of the Year, Nick Perkins.<br />     Bertram started Buffalo's exhibition opener against Daemen and he had three points, four rebounds, and three blocked shots in the contest.  He made his season debut on Saturday against Northern Illinois after missing the first 13 games due to a foot injury.  He had three rebounds in limited action. In his second game on Tuesday against Ball State, Bertram had a career high three blocked shots, while also recording his first points of the season.<br /> <br /> <strong>We've Got Experience Too!</strong><br />     In all, this year's men's basketball team has five players who have been a part of another Division I institution during their careers.</p> <ul> <li>    Antwain Johnson - Middle Tennessee St.</li> <li>    Gabe Grant - Houston</li> <li>    Josh Mballa - Texas Tech</li> <li>    LaQuill Hardnett - Cincinnati</li> <li>    David Nickelberry - Memphis</li> </ul> <p><br />     Mballa was a member of the Texas Tech squad in 2018-19 that finished as national runners up.  Mballa and the Red Raiders met up with the Bulls in the NCAA Round of 32 in Tulsa. He played in 17 games at Texas Tech with his career high in scoring coming against the Kansas Jayhawks on Feb. 2, 2019. Mballa had a career best 15 points against UConn and followed that up with his first double-double of the year, scoring 13 points and adding 11 rebounds against Towson. Mballa had scored in double figures in five straight games prior to Ball State and seven of the last nine.  He had 14 rebounds at DePaul and a career-best 15 against St. Bonaventure.  He leads the Bulls in boards at 8.8 per contest.<br />     Hardnett redshirted his freshman season at Cincinnati and has four years of eligibility left for UB.  He has played in all 11 games this season off the bench hitting career highs with nine point and 11 rebounds against Canisius. He has made 10 straight shots with his last miss coming against Missouri St.<br />     Nickelberry, who played last season at Trinity Valley CC, began his collegiate career at Memphis, where he played in 33 games as a freshman for the Tigers. He scored 14 points in a game twice during that year, first against Loyola (MD) and then in the AAC Conference Tournament in a 79-77 win over USF.<br /> <br /> <strong>History On The Horizon</strong><br />     The Bulls are looking to accomplish something this season that has never been done in Mid-American Conference history as no MAC school has ever won five conference tournament titles in a six-year period.  Last season, the Bulls became the first MAC team to win four conference titles in a five year period. The MAC Tournament dates back to the 1979-80 season. <br /> <br /> <br />  </p>
