Filling the void

Caption This year?s men?s basketball team will look much different than last year?s squad that won the Mid-American Conference East regular season title. The Bulls graduated three of their starters ? including UB all-time leading scorer Javon McCrea ? and more than half of this year?s players (7 of 12) were not on the roster last season. ?There?s a difference this year,? said head coach Bobby Hurley.
