FORT MYERS, Fla. – The University at Buffalo men's basketball team (1-3, 0-0 MAC) lost to the Hofstra Pride (2-2, 0-0 CAA) on Monday evening.
Hofstra jumped out to an 10-0 lead starting 4-of-5 from the floor. The Bulls could not recover as they struggled to find an offensive rhythm. At the half, the Bulls were 6-of-26 (23.1%) from the floor compared to Hofstra who couldn't miss. The Pride were 21-of-34 (61.8%) as they made 10-three pointers.
The Bulls offense started to click as they were 15-of-32 (46.9%) from the floor in the second half. Unfortunately, Hofstra's offense couldn't be stopped. The Pride shot 64.3% in the half and 62.9% in the game.
It was a career-day for Anquan Boldin Jr. as he finished 5-for-10 (50.0%) from the floor and 2-for-5 (40.0%) from three-point range. In total, he finished with 12 points and a career-high three steals. Fellow freshman Lloyd McVeigh scored his first collegiate points from the free throw line, finishing 2-for-2 on the evening.
Sy Chatman led UB with 15 points as Jonnivius Smith had 13 points and eight rebounds. Isaiah Adams added three steals for the Bulls.
