In reply to: Maldez 's message, "Niagara at UB Friday 7:00...ESPN+" on Thursday, December 28, 06:07:26pm

» After an eight-day break, Niagara will continue its five-game road swing with a trip to Alumni Arena on Friday, Dec. 29 to close out the non-conference portion of its schedule against longtime rival Buffalo. The opening tip of the 91st meeting all time between the Purple Eagles and Bulls is set for 7 p.m.

» Niagara is coming into Friday night with a 3-8 overall record after dropping its most recent game at Syracuse on Thursday, Dec. 21, despite a career-high 26 points from graduate student Luke Bumbalough, and a double-double (14 pts, 11 reb) from Yaw Obeng-Mensah.

» Bumbalough became the fifth different Purple Eagle to record a 20-point game this season. Niagara has had a different player score 20 or more points in four straight games.

» Despite being held scoreless at Syracuse last Thursday, freshman Ahmad Henderson II still leads Niagara with 13.8 points per game, including nine games with double-digit points.

» Henderson scored 23 points two games ago at Binghamton and tallied a career-high 28 vs. Bucknell back in November, which set a Purple Eagle program record for a freshman debut in the Gallagher Center.

» Yaw Obeng-Mensah recorded his first double-double as a Purple Eagle, notching 14 points and 11 rebounds at Cuse. The double-double performance is the fifth of the Toronto, Ontario native career.

» Niagara is a top-three shooting team in the MAAC this season, ranking second in 3-point percentage (37.8), and third in both field goal percentage (46.2) and free throw percentage (76.3).

Nice win for your team. Only was able to catch the second half - they came out on fire big time! Plus, nailing all those foul shots usually means good things will happen.

Not sure what's up with UB. They have some good players. If they stay at one win much longer, maybe it's time for a coaching shake up? Something needs to happen with them.

Thanks, Larry...you were smart to miss the 1st Half - Niagara looked lack-luster and scored just 20 points...Paulus must have lit into 'em at the half-time break because as you said, they came out on fire and ran-off 9 straight points, almost erasing the 10-point deficit in the process.

Good luck to your Griffs!
