UB Men and Women Leave For the Big Dance

The UB men and women both left for the NCAA tournament Tuesday afternoon.

AMHERST, N.Y. — Both University at Buffalo basketball teams got a great send-off to their respective NCAA tournaments on Tuesday afternoon.

The men are headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a first-round match up with the winner of the Arizona State and St. John's. Those two teams play Wednesday night in the play-in game in Dayton, Ohio.

If Arizona State wins, UB coach Nate Oats will be matched up against the man who hired him at UB, Bobby Hurley. UB's game is scheduled to tip off at 4 p.m. Friday.

The women are headed to Storrs, Connecticut, and a first-round matchup with Rutgers. The Bulls are a 10 seed taking on seventh-seeded Rutgers.

Legendary Scarlett Knights coach C. Vivian Stringer is out on a medical leave of absence so she won't be coaching again this season.

The UB women's game is scheduled to tip off at 4:30 p.m. Friday. If UB beats Rutgers, chances are it will get powerhouse Connecticut in a second-round matchup.
