On paper, the results weren’t pretty for the Buffalo men’s basketball team last week. The Bulls (4-5) have lost three in a row, including a closer-than-you-think game against No. 5 Duke and a first half back-and-forth affair against No. 2 Iowa State. Buffalo is now under .500 for the first time this season. But if you watched the games, you saw the Bulls begin to make strides as they head into the final stretch of non-conference play.
Iowa State (7-0), ranked No. 2 in the entire country in the latest USA Today Coaches Poll, defeated the Bulls (4-5) 84-63 behind a late second-half surge at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa Monday night.
Behind a third quarter in which it outscored Buffalo 29-10, Duquesne defeated the Bulls (6-2) 79-62 in Alumni Arena to give Buffalo its second straight loss after a 6-0 start. The Bulls allowed the Dukes to shoot 48 percent from the floor and were outrebounded 43-32.
Things aren’t going to get any easier for the men’s basketball team. On Saturday, the Bulls (4-4) lost to the reigning national champions, No. 7 Duke, 82-59 in Cameron Indoor Stadium and it won’t be the last time this week Buffalo faces elite talent. On Monday night, the Bulls continue their road trip with a stop at No. 5 Iowa State (6-0) at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.
Fueled by a 23-point outburst by Ingram, No. 7 Duke (8-1) defeated Buffalo (4-4) 82-59 on Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Buffalo shot less than 23 percent from beyond the arc in its second consecutive loss first-ever trip to Durham, North Carolina.
The football team ended its first season of the Lance Leipold era 5-7 with a 3-5 Mid-American Conference record. A 5-7 record isn’t a bad start to the Leipold era, but losing three in a row to end the season, when just one more win was needed to make the team bowl eligible, left a sour taste in fans’ mouths.
Hofstra (6-1) defeated the Bulls (6-1) 79-36 in Hempstead, New York Thursday, which ends Buffalo’s six-game winning streak to start the season. It was Legette-Jack’s first game against her former team, which she coached from 2002 to 2006, since coming to UB in 2012.

The chemistry of the women's basketball team and head coach Felisha Legette-Jack, evident in a recent team trip to Universal Studios, is one reason the Bulls (6-0) defeated Central Florida and Clemson of the Atlantic Coast Conference for it’s best start since the 2000-01 season.
Both Buffalo men’s basketball assistant coach Donyell Marshall and Bulls Director of Player Development Julius Hodge, two former NBA journeymen, reminisced about playing against Kobe Bryant.
It’s fair to say there’s been little stability in the UB football program over the past few seasons. The Bulls have had a coaching change. They’ve seen the highs of a bowl game in 2013 and the lows of back-to-back five-win and bowlless seasons the past two years. But through it all there has been one constant – Joe Licata, a local high school quarterback who stayed local and shattered most of the passing records at UB.
Joe Licata's played every single game of his college career with family in the stand, and they were there once again for his last game Friday despite wind, rain and a heart-breaking season-ending 31-26 loss to Massachusetts. His father Gil and mother Paula have never missed a game – home or away – while his three sisters have only missed a few.

The game was the third of four games Buffalo will play in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Classic.
