"I think this is the most ambitious schedule UB has ever had," said head coach Jim Hofher. "We are playing a Big East opponent in Rutgers on the road, the defending co-champion of the Big Ten at Iowa, a rugged Eastern Division schedule in the MAC and we play the two superior teams in the West Division (Toledo and Northern Illinois). It will be a great challenge for our team and our program, and we are looking forward to it."
