Men's Basketball
Head Coach Tim Cohane got off to a winning start on Nov. 26 as his
Bulls men's basketball team opened the 1993-94 season with a 70-61
victory over local NAIA opponent Daemen College.
	The Bulls never trailed as they took a 37-20 lead at halftime
and never looked back. Junior Myron Banks led all scorers with 18
points and 10 rebounds. Banks was 9-of-18 from the floor. Junior Modie
Cox scored 16 points from his guard position and pulled down seven
rebounds. Freshman guard Rasaun Young, who led all New York State high
schoolers in scoring last season at New Rochelle High School, came off
the bench to hit for 15 points and a game-high 11 rebounds (seven on
the offensive end). He also contributed three assists and three
steals.
	UB came back the following evening to face Marist College, a
member of the Northeast Conference. The Red Foxes handed UB its first
loss of the year with an 87-80 decision.
	Early in the first half, the Bulls held as much as an 11 point
lead but saw Marist chip away at the margin to tie the contest at 35
at halftime.
	The game remained a see-saw contest for much of the second
half, until the Red Foxes held UB without a field goal for over six
minutes as they went on a 13-6 run to put the game away. Marist went
to the free throw line 45 times connecting on 32 while the Bulls were
15-of-22 from the charity stripe.

weekend. Friday, they tip off at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Auditorium
