The Bulls had seven players score in double figures and produced their highest point total in three three seasons as they routed Embry-Riddle 103-72 in Daytona Beach, FL. The last time UB scored over 100 points was during the 1994-95 season when they defeated Eastern Illinois 110-98 in Alumni Arena. The 103 points scored against Embry-Riddle marks only the second time in UB men's basketball history that they have scored 100 points or more on the road (106 at Rochester '73-74).

Holding a 44-31 advantage at the break, the Bulls exploded for 59 points in the second half, powered by freshman forward Thomas Gustafsson's (Helsinki, Finland/Salpausselan Lukio) 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting. Gustafsson led UB with 16 points and five rebounds for the game. Junior forward Robert Harris (New Rochelle, NY/Archbishop Stepinac) added 10 points and was a perfect 5-for-5 sfrom the field, while freshman center Nikolai Alexeev (Minsk, Belarus/Belarus Sports Academy) had 12 points, five rebounds and a blocked shot in only 13 minutes. Freshman guard Ryan Peterson (Clark, NJ/Seton Hall Prep) dished out 10 assists.

A close game early in the first half, the Bulls were down one at 21-20 when they went on a 24-10 run with 8:07 left in the half to take a 44-31 lead at the intermission. In the second half, UB was able to wear Embry-Riddle down with their superior size and talent, closing the game with an 18-9 run.

The Bulls continue their three-game road trip on Wednesday (1/14) when they take on Mid-Con opponent Youngstown State at 7:30 pm. UB's next home game is Wednesday (1/21) when they host UMKC at 7:50 pm in Alumni Arena.
