Taking it to the house

By Tom Dinki | Mar. 25, 2014

One might expect a residence occupied by 1,416 total pounds of football players to be a house filled with talk of X's and O's and copious amounts of food. Only the latter is correct in the case of the house occupied by five Buffalo football players, however, as their home is usually filled with talk of computer programming and coding as opposed to audibles and gap assignments. Senior defensive lineman Colby Way, sophomore running back Anthone Taylor, junior offensive lineman Jake Silas and junior defensive linemen Dalton Barksdale and Kristjan Sokoli live together in the same house two minutes from North Campus.

By OWEN O'BRIEN | Mar. 14, 2014

CLEVELAND - The men's basketball team had the ball with the opportunity to force overtime at Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday evening by doing what it had done effectively all game - hit a three-pointer.

By Jordan Grossman | Mar. 9, 2014

The baseball team experienced that tough predicament this weekend. The Bulls (7-3) dropped two of three games this weekend in the Bulldog Invitational in Athens, Ga.
