Entering its second year,
the New York Bulls Initiative
(#NYBI) continues to broaden
the awareness of The State
Univeristy of New York, Buffalo
athletics in an effort to build
America’s next big time college
athletics brand.
Danny White, University at Buffalo Director of Athletics, joined
by Pete Augustine, President of New Era, announced the
launch of NYBI in 2013 and the formation of a volunteer Board
of Advisors to provide strategic guidance to the Bulls Athletics
leadership team.
As a member of the elite Association of American Universities
(AAU) and the largest public university in SUNY system, this
initiative will position The State University of New York,
Buffalo as the premier athletic department in the state.
Bulls Athletics has seen immediate returns as they
have announced several new exciting strategic media
partnerships, including deals with ESPN3 to broadcast all
basketball and football games and ESPN Radio 1520, 50,000
watt powerhouse. In addition, the athletics department
continues to enhance the tailgate experience with a free
concert series from major recording stars. As a result, UB led
the Mid-American Conference in football attendance last
season. Strategic efforts are underway to galvanize the UB
alumni base, and the Western New York community, to bring
a vibrant college athletics atmosphere to campus.

2013-14 MAC EAST CHAMPIONS
Game 10 • at #6 Wisconsin • Sunday, December 28
Just-In Time
Junior Justin Moss gave the Bulls valuable minutes off the bench last season, averaging
3.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. Picking up his first career start in the season opener vs.
South Dakota State, Moss obliterated his career highs with 25 points and 13 rebounds, despite
foul trouble. Moss went a perfect 11-of-11 from the free throw line as well. Moss also added
two blocked shots.
Moss added eight points and six rebounds against top-ranked Kentucky, including a huge
dunk on a Kentucky defender. For his efforts during the opening weekend, Moss was named
the MAC East Player of the Week for the first time in his career.
His career-high was short lived however, as he scored 26 points in a win at Grand Canyon,
scoring 18 of his points in the second half. He recorded his second career double-double in the
win over Canisius as he finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, earning himself Big 4 Player
of the Week honors. Moss had a career-high 14 rebounds at St. Bonaventure. Moss added 20
points and 11 rebounds against Robert Morris, surpassing his scoring total from a year ago
just seven games into the year. He added his second straight double-double against Drexel
and had a strong second half for a third straight double-double against Niagara with 24 points
and 11 rebounds. He leads the MAC in scoring (17.3) and rebounding (10.2). Moss has already

#SCTop10
For the first time this season and the third time already in his first 32 career games, junior
Justin Moss found himself on ESPN Sportscenter Top 10 plays after he threw down a baseline
dunk over Kentucky seven-footer Willie Cauly-Stein. Last season, Moss found his way on to the
Top 10 plays list after hammering home an ally-oop dunk off the backboard against Bowling
Green and finishing as the recipient of a double behind-the-back pass against Western Michigan.
Moss made a strong case to get on the countdown again against Niagara as he took a behind
the back pass from Shannon Evans on the break and went with the tomahawk slam to finish
the play.

Buffalo 88, Niagara 62 • December 19, 2014
BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo, The State University of New York men’s basketball team shot a blistering 64.0%
in the second half and led by as many as 33 points as the Bulls defeated Big 4 rival Niagara, 88-62, Friday night at Alumni
Arena. The win improves the Bulls to 7-2 on the season, their best record since starting 11-1 in 2005-06.
Due to a Class B technical foul that was called on the Bulls prior to the start of the game, Niagara actually started the
contest with a 1-0 lead before the opening tip. The Purple Eagles held on to the lead for the first three and a half minutes,
but never had more than a one possession advantage. UB was down 5-2 when they went on a 9-0 run, capped off on a
three pointer from Jarryn Skeete, giving the Bulls an 11-5 lead and they never looked back.
Niagara was able to keep it close in the opening half as they pulled it within two, 28-26, with 3:41 left, but the Bulls
were able to end the half on a 10-2 run, including a huge three pointer from sophomore Shannon Evans as time expired
in the half.
The Bulls came out of the break and absolutely dominated the second half scoring a season-high 50 points, shooting
16-of-25 from the floor for 64.0%. The 50 points scored in the second half are the most points scored by UB in a half since
scoring 50 in the first half vs. Mansfield on Nov. 24, 2012.
UB opened the second half on an 11-2 run as it took a 49-30 lead just under four minutes into the half. Niagara pulled
within 16 points at 63-47 with 9:40 left when the Bulls went on a 21-4 run over the next six and a half minutes. The highlight play in the run came on a behind the back pass from Evans to Justin Moss, who finished with a tomahawk slam. The
33-point lead by the Bulls was their largest lead of the season.
Moss picked up his third straight double-double with 24 points and 11 rebounds, doing most of his damage in the
second half where he had 20 of those points and nine rebounds. Ford recorded his first career double-double as he
finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds, as he had nine points and eight boards before the break. It was the first time
that the Bulls had two players with a double-double in the same game since Feb. 23, 2013 vs. Manhattan.
Evans finished with 20 points and eight assists as he went 12-of-13 from the free throw line. It was the second straight
game that Evans has recorded eight assists. Freshman Lamonte Bearden, who also had eight dimes on Tuesday night,
added seven more this evening.
Skeete finished with a season-high 17 points, two shy of his career-high as he was deadly from behind the arc again,
going 5-for-8 from long distance. The five three pointers were a career high for Skeete.
Road Warriors
The Bulls played six straight games on the road following their season opener this year,
traveling over 7,800 miles since hosting South Dakota State in the home opener on Nov. 14. UB
went 4-2 on the road trip with its only losses coming at top-ranked and undefeated Kentucky
and one-loss St. Bonaventure. The four true road wins by the Bulls are currently tied for second
most in the nation.
Hollywood Returns For Year Two
Sophomore point guard Shannon Evans had one of the best seasons by a UB freshman last
season and he is looking to continue and improve on that trend this year.
Nicknamed Hollywood, Evans has a flare for the dramatic, making some of the best and most
unpredictable passes on the floor. Evans recorded 95 assists last season, to just 60 turnovers,
including a career-high eight assists in a win over Miami (OH). He has also shown his ability to
score, averaging 8.5 points per game. Evans showed his scoring touch in the win over South
Dakota State, as he finished with 17 points in the season opener. He added two assists and three
steals, while sinking two big free throws late in the win. He recorded a career-high 24 points in
the win at Texas-Arlington as he went 7-of-14 from the field and 8-of-9 from the free throw line.
He also led the Bulls with five assists. Evans had his second straight 20-point game against Grand
Canyon as he finished 23 points, hitting a career-best four three pointers. Evans also added a
season-best seven assists and six rebounds. Evans had his third 20-point game in the last four
contests with 21 points against St. Bonaventure, scoring 18 of those points in the second half.
Evans becomes the first UB guard since Rodney Pierce in 2008-09 to have three 20-point games
over the team’s first six games. In the win over Robert Morris, Evans controlled the pace of play,
seeing 37 minutes of action, scoring 14 points, while adding three rebounds, six assists and four
steals. Evans tied his career-high with eight assists in UB’s win over Drexel and fnished with
eight more assists in the win against Niagara, in addition to 20 points. He has recorded at least
six assists in six of the first nine games, including the last four
.
Re-Freshing
Freshman Lamonte Bearden became the first UB freshman to start the season opener for
the Bulls since the 2005-06 and he didn’t disappoint, dishing out six assists in his first collegiate
action. More importantly, Bearden was credited with just one turnover in the game. He also
added eight points, two rebounds and a steal. Bearden had another eight points in UB’s game at
nationally-ranked Kentucky, while also leading the team in assists. Bearden recorded eight points

The UB’s men’s basketball team has already worn four different uniform combinations this season, after unveiling
brand new black uniforms in its nationally-televised game at #1 Kentucky. UB has now picked up victories in
all four different uniform combos. Here is UB’s record per uniform combo.
White (3-0)
11/14 South Dakota St. W, 69-67
12/16 Drexel
W, 80-70
12/19 Niagara
W, 88-62

11/16 #1 Kentucky
L, 71-52
11/25 Grand Canyon W, 80-64
12/7 Robert Morris W, 74-59
Buffalo Braves Throwbacks (1-0)
11/29 Canisius
W, 72-57
in each of the first four games this season before exploding for 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting in the
win over Canisius. The 23 points were the most scored by a UB freshman since Javon McCrea had
29 at Iona on March 22, 2011 and it is the most by a UB guard since Calvin Cage scored 24 points
at Northwestern on December 30, 2002. Bearden recorded a career-high eight assists in UB’s win
over Drexel, while adding 11 points and six rebounds. He added seven more assists in the win over
Niagara
20/20
For the first time since Feb. 19 of last year against Akron, the Bulls had multiple players finish with
more than 20 points in the win over Grand Canyon. Junior Justin Moss finished with a career-high
26 points, while sophomore Shannon Evans finished with 23 points, his second straight 20-point
performance. Evans was the star of the first half as he had 18 of his points in the first half, while
Moss was the star of the second half as he had 18 points after the break. The Bulls accomplished
that feat for the second time this season when Moss and Evans both went over 20 points in the
win over Niagara. It was the first time since the 2011-12 season that UB had two players scored 20
points in multiple games in the same season. Mitchell Watt and Javon McCrea did it during the
2011-12 season against Youngstown State and Temple.

UB MEN’S BASKETBALL
@UBMensHoops
Oh, Canada!
Junior Jarryn Skeete begins his junior season after suffering through some injuries last
season during his sophomore campaign. Skeete is one of the most dynamic three point
shooters on the Bulls and he has made 63 three pointers over his first two seasons in a UB
uniform. Last season, Skeete tied a career-high with 19 points as hit four three pointers in a
win over Eastern Michigan in January. Skeete was also one of the top free throw shooters for
the Bulls last season as he went 26-for-30 from the line.
After scoring just four points in the opener, Skeete has had two big games, beginning #1
Kentucky. Skeete hit a three for UB’s first points and finished with a game-high 16 points,
including 4-for-6 from three point range. He added 13 points against Texas-Arlington, with
nine of those coming in the second half. He added 14 points against Grand Canyon, going
3-of-4 from three point range. Skeete hit four three pointers in the win over Drexel and then
set a new career high as he drained five triples in the win over Niagara, going 5-for-8 from
behind the arc and setting a season-high with 17 points. Skeete is now 25-of-50 from threepoint range this year to lead the Bulls. He is currently fourth in the league in three pointers
made and 3pt field goal percentage at 50.0%.
Getting Wiggy With It
Junior Rodell Wigginton had one of his best games in his brief Buffalo career against top
ranked Kentucky as he had 15 points in 26 minutes of action. Wigginton did most of his damage
from the free throw line where he went 9-for-11. Wigginton is playing his first season with
UB after transferring from the College of Central Florida. Wigginton recorded six rebounds
off the bench in the win over Grand Canyon. Wigginton scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting
in the win against Canisius at the First Niagara Center and he also finished with a career-high
seven rebounds. Wigginton added 12 points against Drexel, including a huge ally-oop dunk.
Will Power
Senior Will Regan will lead the charge for UB as he is Buffalo’s returning leading scorer and
rebounder for the Bulls. Regan was named preseason All-MAC as well as to the preseason
All-Big 4 First Team. Despite beginning just his third year with UB after transferring from Virginia, Regan has established himself as one of the top scorers, but near the basket and from
three-point range.
After struggling over the first two games this year to find his shot, Regan finished with 15
points and six rebounds in the win over Texas-Arlington. He had a stretch against the Mavericks
where he scored seven straight points for the Bulls. Regan is coming off back-to-back games
in double figures as he scored 10 points against St. Bonaventure and then had 12 points in
the win at Robert Morris, going 5-for-9 from the field, including hit both three pointers.
The X Files
Senior Xavier Ford begins his final season in a UB uniform, the only four-year member of
this year’s team. Ford had a breakout season for the Bulls last year as he played in all 29 games,
while starting 17 of those contests. Last year, Ford set career highs in every statistic: points,
rebounds, blocks, and steals. Ford showed his biggest improvement from the free throw line
where he shot 74.4% last year after failing to crack the 50% mark in each of his first two years.
Ford was solid in the exhibition game for UB, scoring 12 points in 22 minutes, including hitting
a three-pointer. Although it won’t count in his official stats, it was the first three pointer that
Ford had attempted in his career. He continued his trend of being strong at the free throw
line, going 7-for-10 from the charity stripe during the game against Wheeling Jesuit. Ford
had a solid game off the bench for the Bulls in the opener with eight points and tying his
career-high with nine rebounds. Ford led the Bulls in rebounding against Texas-Arlington.
He had a career-best four assists against Grand Canyon, all coming on perfect feeds into the
post for easy Justin Moss layups. On the defensive end, Ford set a new career high with four
blocked shots against Canisius. After missing two games due to injury, Ford returned against
Drexel and recorded 12 points and six rebounds off the bench in 17 minutes of action. He
continued to be solid against Niagara as he recorded his first career double-double with 11
points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench. Ford had nine points and eight rebounds
in the first half, providing a spark for the Bulls early. The 13 rebounds were a career-high for
Ford.

Raheem The Dream
The Bulls have gotten solid minutes off the bench from junior Raheem Johnson,
who played his first two seasons at Barton Community College. He scored three points
against #1 Kentucky, but most of his effect has be shown on the defensive end where
he has recorded some big rebounds and also has recorded blocked shots in each game
this season, including two against South Dakota St. Johnson had three blocked shots,
while adding four points and four rebounds in the win against Canisius. Johnson may
have had his best game of the young season at St. Bonaventure as he finished with
eight points, four rebounds and three more blocked shots. He leads the Bulls with 13
blocks on the year, tied for fifth most in the MAC.

BOBBY HURLEY
HEAD COACH • SECOND YEAR AT BUFFALO • DUKE ‘93
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 Awards, which is given to the nation’s top first year head
coach. He coach 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.
“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. I’m confident, after our discussions, that he is the right leader
to take our program to the next level. We couldn’t be more proud to welcome
Bobby, Leslie and their family to the Western New York community.”
A first-team All-American in 1993, Hurley is best remembered for being the
point guard at Duke – one of the best college basketball teams of all time.
Along with Western New York native Christian Laettner, Hurley led the Blue
Devils to three Final Four appearances and consecutive national championships in 1991 and 1992. Hurley still holds the NCAA record for career assists
with 1,076.
What They Are Saying About Bobby Hurley
“I am incredibly happy for Bobby and for the Buffalo Basketball program.
What a great marriage it will be for Bobby to work with Danny White.
The two will form an incredible team that will take Buffalo Basketball to
another level of success. Bobby Hurley is as good of a competitor and
the equal of any guard to play in the history of college basketball.” – Mike
Krzyzewski, Duke University Head Men’s Basketball Coach
“I am excited for Bobby and the great opportunity he has ahead of him
at the University at Buffalo. The last few years we have coached together
have been special and I know he is ready for this next step. Buffalo is
getting a great coach and an even better person.” – Dan Hurley, Rhode
Island Head Coach
“Buffalo has made an inspired hire in Bobby Hurley. Bobby is one of the
most intense and courageous competitors I have ever been around, and
he has a great feel for the game. He is a winner in every sense of the
word, but he also has a refreshing humility and blue-collar approach.
Bobby is a great person, and an outstanding young basketball coach.
Buffalo just hit it out of the park by hiring Bobby.” - Jay Bilas, ESPN
“I couldn’t be happier for Bobby. It’s my hometown, so I’m excited
for the city of Buffalo and UB. You are getting a ‘Class A’ person and
character and a ‘Class A’ in terms of basketball knowledge. I don’t want
to put pressure on him, but I’m expecting the basketball program to
improve because Bobby is a great coach.” – Christian Laettner, former
Duke teammate
“My wife and I are extremely excited. I think the University, students and
alumni are going to really enjoy how hard the team will play. Bobby has
a lot of energy. After his three years of coaching with Danny, he’s ready
to take on this leadership role.” – Bob Hurley, Sr., Hall of Fame Coach
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.

BUFFALO, NY - The State University of New York, Buffalo men’s basketball team began its 2014-15 season on
Thursday night, defeating Wheeling Jesuit 79-60 in an
exhibition contest at Alumni Arena. The Bulls received
balanced scoring as four players found their way into
double figures and seven different players saw at least 20
minutes of court time.
With seven new faces on the team this year, the Bulls
were able to maintain a lead for nearly the entire evening.
Freshman Lamonte Bearden got the night started by
tipping in his own miss for the first points of the game.
Wheeling Jesuit took its only lead of the contest at 4-2,
but senior Xavier Ford answered as he hit a three-pointer,
the first one that he has taken in his career. The game was
tied up at 5-5, when the Bulls went on a quick 6-0 run with
the final four points coming from senior Will Regan.
A three pointer from freshman Mory Diane gave the
Bulls their first double-digit lead of the night at 31-21 with
6:48 remaining and the Bulls went on to lead by as many
as 11 in the opening half before taking a 42-33 lead into
the half.
The Bulls opened the second half on a 9-0 run, getting
four of those points from the free throw line from Ford.
Another three pointer from Diane put UB ahead 59-40 with
14:06 remaining and the Bulls kept their double-digit lead
through out the second half.
The Cardinals pulled within 11 twice in the second
half as the Bulls led 61-50 with 9:18 remaining. The Bulls
went on a 13-4 run over the next five and a half minutes
to extend their lead to 74-54 with just 3:30 left. A jumper
from Diane with 1:16 left gave the Bulls their largest lead of
the game at 22 before a final three pointer from Wheeling
Jesuit made the score 79-60, which was the final.
Regan led all scorers with 16 points as he was extremely
efficient from the field, going 4-of-5, including 3-of-4 from
three point range. Regan also hit five out of six free throws
and hauled in eight rebounds. Evans added 14 points and
a game-high six assists, while Diane also added 14 points
in his college debut, including hitting four thee-pointers.
Ford had 12 points, including 7-of-10 from the free throw
line and four steals.
Bearden picked up the start and added six points, four
assists and two steals, while junior Jarryn Skeete added six
points on a pair of three-pointers. Junior Raheem Johnson
saw 22 minutes off the bench and he had six points and a
team-high nine rebounds. Fellow junior Rodell Wigginton
added five points and two rebounds.
UB MEN’S BASKETBALL
BUFFALO, NY - The State University of New York, Buffalo
men’s basketball team overcame a late deficit during the
final minute of play, edging South Dakota State, 69-67,
Friday night at Alumni Arena. It was the first time since
the 2011-12 season that the Bulls won their season opener.
It was a back-and-forth night for the two teams who
waited over 10 months for this contest after weather
postponed the original date last January. Despite a tough
shooting night for the Bulls, UB was able to take advantage
in the rebounding column and at the free throw line for
the victory.
The Bulls got out to an early five-point lead, the largest
by either team in the first half. With such littler separation
between the sides, it was no surprise that it was just a
one-point game at the half. Despite trailing 28-27 at the
break, junior Justin Moss was already the standout for UB,
recording 11 points and nine rebounds before the break.
South Dakota State built up an early eight-point lead
in the second half as they took a 41-33 advantage with
14:46 left. Although the Bulls didn’t have much success
from behind the arc, UB got a huge three from sophomore
Shannon Evans to end the run. However, UB still trailed
47-40 with just under 12 minutes left when the Bulls went
on an 11-0 run over a four and a half minute stretch, capped
off on a tip-in three point play from Moss.
UB built its lead to 56-50 with 6:33 left, but a SDSU three
pointer pulled the Jackrabbits back within three. A fast
break steal and dunk from Xavier Ford gave the Bulls a 6561 lead with just under two minutes left, but South Dakota
State scored the next five points to take a 66-65 lead with
1:06 remaining. The Bulls were able to find a wide open
Jarryn Skeete, who drove to the lane and put UB up for
good with 41 seconds left. Evans hit a couple free throws
to give UB a 69-66 advantage and the Bulls smartly fouled
with less than three seconds left to remove the possibility
of a three-point play. SDSU sunk one free throw, but was
unable to tie the game up as the Bulls came away with the
win.
Moss finished with career highs of 25 points and 13
rebounds, while going a perfect 11-for-11 from the free
throw line. His numbers could have been even higher, but
Moss was limited by foul trouble before ultimately fouling
out with 3:45 remaining.
Evans dropped 17 points as he picked up his first career
start after coming off the bench in every game last season.
He added two assists and three steals. Freshman Lamonte
Bearden led all players with six assists, while he also added
eight points and a steal.1

LEXINGTON, KY - The State University of New York,
Buffalo men’s basketball team had its sight set on one of
the biggest upsets in college basketball history on Sunday
afternoon and through 20 minutes, it looked like it might
come true. The Bulls held a 38-33 lead at the half against
#1 ranked Kentucky before the Wildcats moved ahead in
the second half for a 71-52 win at Rupp Arena in front of a
nearly sold out crowd of 22,175.
The Bulls got out to a quick start to the game thanks
to the shooting of junior Jarryn Skeete, who scored 14 of
his 16 points in the opening half. Despite a noticeable
size difference on the court, Kentucky was unable to grab
more than a four point advantage. Trailing 25-23 in the
first half, the Bulls went on a 7-0 run, which was capped
off on a thunderous dunk from junior Justin Moss over a
Kentucky defender.
Kentucky regained the lead 33-32 with 4:24 left, but the
Bulls held the number one team off the scoreboard for the
rest of the half and ended the half on a 6-0 run with the
final three points coming from junior Rodell Wigginton.
However, in the second half Kentucky came out and
showed why they have earned the number one ranking.
The Wildcats opened the second half on a 9-0 run to take
a 42-38 lead, but the Bulls answered back with five quick
points coming on a jumper from freshman Lamonte
Bearden and three free throws from Rodell Wigginton.
UB continued to lead with 14:23 remaining following a
jumper from Skeete, which put the Bulls ahead 45-43, but
then Kentucky took control for the final 14 minutes, ending
the game on a 28-7 run.
“I was really proud of my team and how we competed,
particularly in the first half,” said second-year head coach
Bobby Hurley. “Obviously being able to have a halftime
lead against this type of opponent was a big thing for us.
Hopefully it is a confidence-building performance. Proud
of winning the hustle game early in the first half with loose
balls, charges, gritty play.”
Skeete led all scorers with 16 points, shooting 4-of-6
from three point range. Wigginton added 15 points, doing
most of his damage from the free throw line, where he was
9-for-11. Moss added eight points and six rebounds, while
freshman Lamonte Bearden added eight points and three
assists.
Defensively, the Bulls held all five Kentucky starters in
single figures in scoring, with most of their damage coming
from the bench, led by 12 points from Tyler Ulis and Trey
Lyles.
The crowd of 22,175 was the largest that UB has ever
played in front of.

ARLINGTON, TX - The State University of New York, Buffalo
men’s basketball team trailed for just over one minute
total on Tuesday evening, leading nearly throughout in
a 74-68 victory at Texas-Arlington. The victory improves
UB to 2-1 on the season. The Bulls placed four in double
figures led by a career-high 24 points from sophomore
Shannon Evans.
The Bulls scored the first eight points of the evening
with the final points coming from Evans, who went on to
score the next eight points for the Bulls. UTA fought back
and took its first lead of the contest at 13-12 with 12:33
remaining, but the Bulls answered with an 8-2 run. Quiet
the first two games, senior Will Regan had a breakout night
as he scored seven straight points for the Bulls during the
run.
Arlington never led by more than one, which it did three
times during the first half, the final time coming with 1:34
left before UB ended the half on a quick 5-0 run to take a
35-31 lead into the break.
The Bulls opened up a double-digit lead for the first
time in this young season as reigning MAC East Player of
the Week Justin Moss hit a layup with 9:11 left to give the
Bulls a 57-47 advantage. The Mavericks cut it back to 5752, but the Bulls answered with a 10-0 run, which featured
three pointers from junior Jarryn Skeete as well as Evans,
putting the Bulls ahead 67-52 with 4:32 left.
UTA tried to make a late rally, but never pulled any closer
than six, thanks to some clutch free throw shooting as UB
went 24-for-31 from the free throw line.
Evans went 7-of-14 from the floor and 8-of-9 from the
free throw line as he finished with his career-best 24 points.
Evans also added five assists and two steals. Regan had a
season-best 15 points, hitting three treys and also going
a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line. He added six
rebounds, two blocks and two steals.
Skeete finished with nine of his 13 points in the second
half, also recording six rebounds, while Moss added 11
points and six rebounds despite playing just six minutes
in the first half due to foul trouble. Freshman Lamonte
Bearden added eight points and a career-high seven
rebounds.
Defensively, the Bulls held the Mavs to under 40%
shooting as UTA put up 31 three-pointers, converting on
nine of them. UB forced UTA into 16 turnovers and the
Bulls outrebounded their competition, 44-38.

PHOENIX, AZ - Junior Justin Moss scored a career-best
26 points and sophomore Shannon Evans added 23 as
the State University of New York, Buffalo men’s basketball
team defeated Grand Canyon, 80-64. The win improves
the Bulls to 3-1 on the season.
Evans stole the show in the first half as he scored 18
of his points before the intermission, including four three
pointers. Junior Jarryn Skeete knocked down 11 of his
own in the first half as the Bulls shot nearly 60% from the
floor. The host Antelopes led in the game just once for 22
seconds at 8-7 when the Bulls answered with a 10-0 run,
all coming via Evans. Grand Canyon pulled back within
two, but back-to-back three balls from Skeete and Evans
put UB back up eight.
The Bulls would go on to lead by as many as 18 in the
opening half as a layup from Moss put the Bulls ahead
43-25 with 2:19 left. A small run at the end of the half by
GCU put the Bulls into the break ahead 45-32.
With the offensive success of Evans in the first half, that
opened up the post and Moss took full advantage in the
second half scoring 18 of his 26 points. In fact, Moss scored
the first nine points of the second half for the Bulls. Both
teams got into foul trouble early in the half, so much of the
scoring was done at the free throw line.
The Antelopes cut the UB lead to 57-47 with 9:41 left
when the Bulls went on an 11-0 run, capped off on a fastbreak layup from freshman Lamonte Bearden to give the
Bulls a 68-47 lead with 7:18 remaining. Grand Canyon
pulled within 13 with 2:37 left, but got no closer.
For the first time this season and the first time since Feb.
19 of last year, the Bulls had two 20-point scorers. Moss
added nine rebounds and two steals, while Evans had a
season-high seven assists, while turning it over just once.
He also finished with six rebounds and two steals.
Skeete added 14 points, while for the fourth straight
game Bearden finished with eight points. All eight players
that saw action tonight found the scoring column. Senior
Will Regan had two points and six rebounds, as did junior
Rodell Wigginton. Junior Raheem Johnson finished with
three points, while senior Xavier Ford had two points, three
rebounds and four assists, all going to Moss down low.
As a team, the Bulls shot 28-of-54 from the floor, setting season highs for both field goal percentage and field
goals made. They also set season highs for 3pt field goal
percentage, assists and steals.

BUFFALO, NY - The State University of New York, Buffalo
men’s basketball team led wire-to-wire on Saturday

The Bulls opened the game on an 11-2 run with
six of those points coming from junior Justin Moss. A
three-pointer from freshman Lamonte Bearden put UB up
16-6 with 13:35 left and it would be just the beginning for
the freshman, who scored a career-best 23 points in the
contest.
Canisius pulled within six in the first half at 25-19 before
the Bulls went on a 9-0 run over the final 4:18 of the first
half. All nine points came between Bearden and junior
Rodell Wigginton as the Bulls took a 34-19 lead into the
break. The 19 points scored by Canisius were the fewest
that UB has allowed in a half so far this season.
The Griffs opened the second half on a 9-3 run to pull
back within single digits at 37-28, but a fast-break dunk
from Moss put the Bulls back ahead by double figures,
which they would hold on to for the rest of the night. UB
built up its biggest lead of the day with 10:27 left as a layup
from Xavier Ford gave the Bulls a 54-34 lead.
Canisius was able to pull no closer than 12, which it did
with 2:00 minutes remaining, but Bearden was able to score
the final four points for the Bulls before being replaced in
the final 35 seconds by Christian Pino and Bobby Frasco,
who made their season debuts.

of the first four games this season, led all scorers with 23
points as he shot 9-of-13 from the floor, including 2-of-3
from behind the arc. He also had four assists, tying sophomore Shannon Evans for game-high honors. Moss finished

OLEAN, NY - The University at Buffalo, The State University
of New York men’s basketball team outscored St. Bonaventure, 45-38 over the final 20 minutes, but was unable to
overcome a slow start, falling to the host Bonnies, 72-63,
Wednesday night at the Reilly Center. The loss snaps a
three-game winning streak for the Bulls, who are now 4-2
on the season. St. Bonaventure improved to 5-1.
The Bulls struggled offensively in the first half, shooting
just 6-of-27 from the floor and scoring a season-low 18
points as they trailed into the half, 34-18. Despite the large
deficit, the Bulls made a game out of it in the second half
as they shot over 53% from the floor.
The Bonnies scored the opening bucket of the second
half to take their largest lead of the game at 37-18. St.
Bonaventure continued to lead by 19 at 43-24 when the
Bulls went on a 15-3 run to pull within 46-39 with 11:44
left. Nine of the points in the run came from sophomore
Shannon Evans, who converted on two conventional threepoint plays and then a triple from long range. A pair of free
throws from junior Raheem Johnson capped off the run.
However, the Bonnies responded with a 13-3 run which
put them back up 58-42 with 8:06 remaining. The Bulls
managed to cut it to 12 on two more occasions, but St.
Bonaventure continued to lead by 17, 70-53 with 2:08 left.
The Bulls got late three pointers from senior Will Regan and
freshman Mory Diane as they closed out the game on a
10-2 run, falling 72-63.
“I credit St. Bonaventure and how they came out to start
the game tonight,” said head coach Bobby Hurley. “We talked about getting out to a quick start, and we’ve done that
the last few games, but tonight our offense was sluggish
and out of synch on that end of the floor. Defensively, we
had too many breakdowns and they hurt us in transition
especially early and we let them get to the rim too easily
as well, which really hasn’t happened to us too many times
this year.”
Evans led all players tonight with 21 points and six assists. This was his third 20-point game of the season. The
six assists are one short of his season-high. Regan added
10 points and six rebounds, while junior Justin Moss had
eight points and a career-high 14 rebounds.
Johnson finished with a career-best eight points as
he went a perfect 3-for-3 from the floor and added two
more from the free throw line. He also had four rebounds
and tied his career high with three blocked shots. Diane
finished with his first five points of the year.
St. Bonaventure placed four players in double figures
led by 19 points from Dion Wright and 17 points and 13
rebounds from Youssou Ndoye.

MOON TOWNSHIP, PA - The University at Buffalo, the State
University of New York men’s basketball team ended its
six-game road trip on Sunday afternoon with a 74-59 win at
Robert Morris. The victory improves the Bulls to 5-2 on the
season as they finish the road trip with four wins in six games.
The Bulls led for nearly the entire game as the host Colonials had just one lead after scoring the first two points of the
contesr. UB responded by scoring the next seven, and never
trailed again. RMU trailed 11-8 in the opening half when the
Bulls went on a 12-2 run over the next four minutes to take a
23-10 lead. The loudest play of the run was on an alley-oop
from Jarryn Skeete to Rodell Wigginton. A layup from senior
Will Regan gave the Bulls their largest lead of the first half at
27-12 with 4:40 left and the Bulls managed to take a 33-23
lead into the break.
Robert Morris opened the second half on a mini 6-3 run to
pull within seven with 17:11 left, but UB went on a 13-2 run as
a three-pointer from Skeete gave the Bulls a 49-31 advantage
with 12:23 remaining.
The Bulls led by as many as 21 points in the game as a
steal from Wigginton led to a Shannon Evans fast-break dunk,
which put the Bulls up 55-34 with 9:25 left. RMU pulled back
within 13 with 4:42 left, but UB went on another 9-2 run as a
layup from Justin Moss put the Bulls ahead 70-50. RMU hit

three rebounds, five assists and four steals. 12 of his 14 points

opponent this season.

most by an opponent this year, and UB had 10 steals, led by
the four from Evans. UB had an advantage in nearly every
specialty stat, outscoring RMU 30-18 in the paint, 28-15 in

BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo, The State University of New York men’s basketball team shot a blistering
64.0% in the second half and led by as many as 33 points
as the Bulls defeated Big 4 rival Niagara, 88-62, Friday night
at Alumni Arena. The win improves the Bulls to 7-2 on the
season, their best record since starting 11-1 in 2005-06.
Due to a Class B technical foul that was called on the
Bulls prior to the start of the game, Niagara actually started
the contest with a 1-0 lead before the opening tip. The
Purple Eagles held on to the lead for the first three and a
half minutes, but never had more than a one possession
advantage. UB was down 5-2 when they went on a 9-0 run,
capped off on a three pointer from Jarryn Skeete, giving
the Bulls an 11-5 lead and they never looked back.
Niagara was able to keep it close in the opening half
as they pulled it within two, 28-26, with 3:41 left, but the
Bulls were able to end the half on a 10-2 run, including a
huge three pointer from sophomore Shannon Evans as
time expired in the half.
The Bulls came out of the break and absolutely dominated the second half scoring a season-high 50 points,
shooting 16-of-25 from the floor for 64.0%. The 50 points
scored in the second half are the most points scored by UB
in a half since scoring 50 in the first half vs. Mansfield on
Nov. 24, 2012.
UB opened the second half on an 11-2 run as it took a
49-30 lead just under four minutes into the half. Niagara
pulled within 16 points at 63-47 with 9:40 left when the
Bulls went on a 21-4 run over the next six and a half minutes. The highlight play in the run came on a behind the
back pass from Evans to Justin Moss, who finished with a
tomahawk slam. The 33-point lead by the Bulls was their
largest lead of the season.
Moss picked up his third straight double-double with
24 points and 11 rebounds, doing most of his damage in
the second half where he had 20 of those points and nine
rebounds. Ford recorded his first career double-double as
he finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds, as he had nine
points and eight boards before the break. It was the first
time that the Bulls had two players with a double-double
in the same game since Feb. 23, 2013 vs. Manhattan.
Evans finished with 20 points and eight assists as he
went 12-of-13 from the free throw line. It was the second
straight game that Evans has recorded eight assists.
Freshman Lamonte Bearden, who also had eight dimes
on Tuesday night, added seven more this evening.
Skeete finished with a season-high 17 points, two shy
of his career-high as he was deadly from behind the arc
again, going 5-for-8 from long distance.
