POST GAME INTERVIEWS
At home: At the conclusion of the game, Head Coach George Halcovage III, selected UB players, as well as the visiting head coach and players will be available in the Alumni Arena Media Room after a 10-minute cooling off period as sanctioned by the NCAA. The UB locker room area will be CLOSED to the media after games. Any media requesting interviews with UB players should contact Zach Monell or a member of the Athletic Communications Office near the end of the game so those players can be made available.
Road: Coach Halcovage and select players will be made available upon request only, following the normal cooling off period.
