Sometimes coaching careers at a school are short, so even though this is only the 12th D1 opponent for this coach, a lot points to this being an important game for him.
The oddsmakers have UB favored by 3.5. The team is coming off an interesting loss in Richmond where they had both Adams and Graham...with a late surge making the margin of defeat smaller than the game flow would indicate (UB scored six points in a ten minute span in that second half). Graham only showed up on the boards, grabbing 6 rebounds but going 0-7 from the field in 21 minutes. Surprisingly (and encouragingly), the Bulls only had six turnovers the entire game.
If UB is ever going to put together a complete game this season, here is their best opportunity so far (and, perhaps, for the rest of the year).
Who knows what this is going to look like tonight. Niagara isn't a good team, but have been in some games. Anything is possible here...UB could win by 19 or lose by 19...and anything in between. Let's hope for the former!!
Go Bulls.
