BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo men's basketball team (1-0, 0-0 MAC) will host the James Madison Dukes (2-0, 0-0 Sun Belt) on Saturday afternoon. Tip-off will be at 1 p.m. and will be streamed on ESPN+.
The Bulls welcome the Dukes to Alumni Arena for the first ever meeting between the programs.
Buffalo is coming off a major win against Patriot League preseason favorite Colgate, 88-87. The Bulls scored 50 second half points in the victory. Zid Powell led all scorers with 24 points, as Jonnivius Smith led the team with eight rebounds. Curtis Jones added a career-high 17 points in the game.
In his UB debut, Powell became just the third Bull in program history to score at least 20 points while also having five assists and five steals. Only Javon Graves (20 pts., 5 asts., 5 stls.) and Lamonte Bearden (21 pts., 8 asts., 5 stls.) are the other UB players to do so. Graves did is on Nov. 27, 2020 against Towson as Bearden did it at Kent State on Jan. 18, 2016. All three games were victorious by the Bulls.
James Madison won their season opener in a blowout, 123-38 against Valley Forge. Last night, the Dukes defeated Hampton, 106-58. This marked the first time since December of 1991 where the Dukes scored over 100 points in back-to-back games.
Like Colgate, James Madison enters the game having received 76 votes in the CollegeInsider.com Mid Major Top-25 poll.
Following the game, the Bulls will hit the road for the first time this season as they face the UConn Huskies on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.
