BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo men's basketball team (4-4, 0-0 MAC) will play the St. John Fisher Cardinals (3-4, 1-1 Empire 8) on Tuesday evening. The game can be watched on ESPN+ with tip-off at 6 p.m.
The Bulls are coming off an 83-66 win against St. Bonaventure to give the Bulls three consecutive wins on the season. In the win, sophomore guard Curtis Jones finished with a career-high 32 points. Jones has scored 20+ points in four straight games. The last Bull to do so was C.J. Massinburg in 2017-18. The Bulls have had at seven 20-point scorers in the last five games. Zid Powell finished with 23 points in the victory.
In Buffalo's last two contests, they've held opponents to 11-for-51 (.216) from beyond the arc. The Bulls currently lead the MAC in three-point percentage defense at .290.
The Bulls are 24th in the nation in fastbreak points, averaging 16.33 per game. This mark is the best in the MAC. Zid Powell and Curtis Jones are tied for third in the MAC with 2.12 steals per game. Malique Jacobs of Kent State leads the MAC, averaging 4.00 per game.
Zid Powell was perfect from the free throw line in his 12 attempts against the Bonnies. He's just the fourth Bull to be perfect with at least 12 free throw attempts. Javon McCrea (15-of-15 vs. Kent State, 1/16/13), Auraum Nuiriankh (12-of-12 vs. Central Michigan, 1/30/13), and Blake Hamilton (15-of-15 at Eastern Michigan, 1/7/17) are the only other Bulls with this feat.
All-time, UB is 3-0 against St. John Fisher. Last year, the Bulls defeated the Cardinals in their mid-December clash, 100-58.
After Tuesday, the Bulls will travel to Atlanta, Ga. to play Tulane in this year's Holiday Hoopsgiving. The game will take place at State Farm Arena with tip-off at 11:30 a.m.
