BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo women's basketball team unveiled their 2021-22 schedule on Friday afternoon. The schedule is highlighted by UB's participation in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament in the Bahamas where the Bulls will get an early test against some of the best teams in the country.
"This could be the most competitive schedule that we've had in my time here at Buffalo," said head coach Felisha Legette-Jack. "From opening against a local rival, to traveling to the Bahamas to compete against programs consistently ranked in the top 10 in the country, to then playing teams from some of the best mid-major conferences, these games will help prepare us to be a force in the MAC. We have a lot of work to do but we are excited, and we know that with the support of our Bulls' village, we can achieve something special this year."
The Bulls will begin the season with an exhibition game against Division II member Daemen on November 5. Buffalo will then remain home for the regular season opener as they host Big 4 rival Canisius on December 9 at 7pm.
Following the season opener, the Bulls will pack their bags and head to Paradise Island for the inaugural Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament. Buffalo will open the tournament on Saturday, December 20 against South Carolina. It will be a rematch of the 2018 Sweet 16 and the third overall meeting between the two programs. The Bulls will then play either Oregon or Oklahoma on November 21 and will conclude tournament play with a game on November 22.
The Bulls will then return to Buffalo to open a four-game homestand, beginning with a contest against James Madison on November 27 at 2pm. Buffalo defeated the Dukes 80-64 in Harrisonburg last season. UB will start off the month of December with a contest against Niagara on Dec. 1 at 7pm before closing out the homestand with a pair of opponents from the Atlantic 10, first hosting Rhode Island on Dec. 5 at 2pm, followed by a tilt with VCU on Dec. 8 at 7pm.
Following the homestand, Buffalo will hit the road for a two-game road trip beginning on Dec. 14 as they travel to Princeton to take on the Tigers at Jadwin Gymnasium. The non-conference schedule will conclude on Dec. 20 as the Bulls head to Lewisburg, PA to take on the Bucknell Bison.

UB will open their conference slate on Dec. 29 as they welcome defending champion Central Michigan to Alumni Arena. The Bulls will then be on the road for two straight games as they head to Oxford, Ohio to take on Miami (OH) on January 1 before closing the road trip in Bowling Green, OH for a battle with the Falcons on Jan. 5.
Buffalo will return home on Jan. 8 for a contest against Kent State before heading back out on the road to Athens, OH for a clash with the Ohio Bobcats on Jan. 12.
