BUFFALO, NY - The Bulls open up 2015 on Saturday afternoon as they conclude non-conference play against Cornell. The Bulls are looking for their ninth non-conference win, which would be their most since the 2010-11 season.
UB is coming off a 76-50 win at Binghamton on Tuesday night where sophomore Shannon Evans recorded the first triple-double in school history with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He is second on the team in scoring at 14.5 points per game and leads the team with 5.5 assists per contest. Junior Justin Moss leads the Bulls with 16.9 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.
