Alright, basketball season starts for real tonight. The Buffalo Bulls Women’s Basketball team will be playing their first game that counts in tonight’s home opener versus the Massachusetts Minutewomen. It’s also a special night because the Bulls will be raising their championship banner for winning last year’s Mid-American Conference Championship.
UMass starts the year off with a lot of question marks thanks to a coaching change over the offseason. Eastern Michigan’s Tory Verdi moved on to UMass and will inherit a rebuilding operation. While at EMU, Verdi accumulated a 72-61 record and would’ve had a strong program in the MAC this year.
