With just over two weeks remaining in the regular season of men's basketball, several Mid-American Conference teams are looking to make a late push in the standings.
While it wasn't exactly a clash of the titans, the matchup between the UB and Akron women's basketball teams would surely give the victor some badly needed momentum with just a few games to go before the Mid-American Conference tournament commences in MarchBuffalo (6-17, 4-9 MAC) garnered some of that momentum and had three players scoring in double figures as they beat Akron (7-17, 2-11 MAC) in Ohio on Saturday, 61-54.But most pleasing of all for the team must have been Kim Kilpela's performance, a senior who had sat on the bench in the previous two games due to poor performance on the court.Kilpela, who had been verbally blasted by her head coach in press conferences after recent games, led all scorers with 17 points, 11 of which she scored in the first half of the game."(She) played one of her best games this year," said Bulls' head coach Cheryl Dozier.

At some point in childhood - often in the classroom, on the playground or at the school cafeteria - every kid learns his or her first harsh lesson about how the real world works.Because I'm from Buffalo, my comeuppance came in an unexpected field: urban planning.I lived on Humboldt Parkway, a famous Buffalo street with a six-lane highway - the Scajaquada Expressway - built right down the middle.One day, I asked my parents why our street was called "parkway" if it was built on a highway; and furthermore, who would build a highway down the middle of a street in the first place?They told me the highway wasn't always there.

Parties, alcohol and sexual activity are commonplace among college students but even in university life there are some situations when sex and parties go too far.
At its best, attending a musical performance can be akin to a religious experience.Robert Randolph and the Family Band understand that philosophy and made it their credo Friday night at The Sphere Entertainment Complex.Playing nearly three hours of energetic, adrenaline-pumping gospel-influenced blues to the packed venue, the band won over many audience-goers who were initially less enthusiastic to Randolph's performance.The lights dimmed for the group at 9:45 p.m., and they took the stage to an audience who had spent the previous 45 minutes clapping, chanting and screaming for Randolph.

There's one thing to be said about the Buffalo Bulls' basketball season after Wednesday night's comeback throttling of the Eastern Michigan Eagles.It is on.Behind a monster 24-point, eight-rebound, four-steal, three-assist performance from Turner Battle, UB (11-11, 7-7 Mid-American Conference) defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles (10-12, 5-9 MAC) at the Convocation Center in convincing fashion, 83-64.With the victory, UB moves into sole possession of fifth place in the MAC, and if the season were to end today, Buffalo would host a first round home playoff game against the 12th place Northern Illinois Huskies (7-17, 2-12 MAC).Despite what the score conveys, the Bulls did not find their "A-game" until the end of the first half.
