UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO

Officials with UB athletics believe the NCAA tournament appearances by their men’s and women’s basketball teams are providing a glimpse to the future success of sports at the university. Athletic Director Allen Green says other university teams are already seeing more interest from prospective athletic recruits in other sports because of basketball.
