(wgrz.com) Canisius senior guard Frank Turner had never beaten UB, until Tuesday night that is.  Turner grabbed a rebound of a missed shot by UB's Calvin Betts with :07 left  to give the Griffs a final possession with the game tied at 71, and then Turner hit a jumper with :01 left to give the Griffs a 73-71 win at UB's Alumni Arena.

Canisius junior guard Julius Coles led the Griffs with 26 points while Turner, only 5-10,  added 17 points and a game high 10 rebounds, and Greg Logins 14 as the Griffs improve to 2-1.  UB was led by Max Boudreau with 15, while Rodney Pierce added 11 and Titus Robinson 10.  UB is now 2-2.

UB led 42-32 at the half, but missed some free throws down the stretch as the Griffs were forced to foul.
