| Date - November 15th, 2014 | Record: 2-2,0-0 | |
| Time - 9:00 PM |
League: Western Athletic Conference | |
| Venue - GCU Arena | RPI - 222 | |
The Buffalo Bulls lost a home game due to the sNovember storm. The 6-12 inches which fall at the airport kept Montana State from getting out of LA and into town. The upside is that the Bulls got some much-needed rest.
The game against the Bobcats was to be UB's fourth in seven days, which would have been followed up by this trip to GCU on the 25th. Now rather than worry about fatigue the issue facing Bobby Hurley's Bulls just might be rusty.
New York last played a week ago in Arlington, Texas. The Bulls won after pulling away midway through the second half. The first half of their 74-68 victory was a back and forth affair which eventually saw UB take a 35-31 lead into the break thanks to a late three from Will Regan and a buzzer-beater from Jarryn Skeete.
A couple of days after UB beat Grand Canyon the Bobcats bettered the Antelopes 66-64. The Lopes then scored a decisive victory over Florida A&M. With just under four minutes left in the first half the game was tied at 18 but Grand Canyon's Ryan Majerle had a three-point play which evolved into a 16-4 run and a 34-22 halftime advantage.
