CJ Massinburg scored 23 points and led six players into double-figure scoring as Buffalo knocked off visiting Robert Morris 86-70 Saturday afternoon.
Massinburg, who came in averaging 19.7 points per game, was 6 of 8 from the field, including 3 of 4 from distance, and 8 of 10 from the line.
Davonta Jordan drilled a 3-pointer to spark a 10-0 run by the Bulls midway through the first half that gave them a 29-16 lead that turned into a 46-30 advantage at intermission.
Jordan finished with 13 points and Jeremy Harris added 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Dachon Burke scored 18 points to lead the Colonials (6-5) and Koby Thomas added another 13.
The Bulls (7-3) added redshirt-freshman quarterback Dominic Johnson to the roster and the former two-sport high school star made his debut last week against Central Penn.
Buffalo now goes on the road to face Syracuse and No. 9 Texas A&M.
West Virginia 98, Wheeling Jesuit 50: Eleventh-ranked West Virginia received 19 points off the bench from freshman Teddy Allen to storm past Division II Wheeling Jesuit 98-50 in an exhibition game.
The Mountaineers, coming off finals week, had an open weekend in their schedule and opted to play their second exhibition game now instead of at the beginning of the season to bridge the long gap between last weekend’s game at Pitt and an upcoming home game Wednesday against Coppin State.
Wheeling Jesuit stayed close for a good portion of the first half when West Virginia was using mostly backups. A late flurry gave WVU a 17-point lead at halftime.
The Mountaineers opened the second half with a 14-4 run over five minutes to blow open the game.
Forwards Lamont West and Wesley Harris contributed 16 points each, and forward D’Angelo Hunter had 12.
Starters Sagaba Konate, Daxter Miles Jr. and Harris each played fewer than 18 minutes.
Senior guard Jevon Carter played 23 minutes but did not attempt a shot.
Wheeling Jesuit, ranked No. 14 in NCAA Division II, received a game-high 22 points from 6-7 senior forward Heywood Highsmith. Jeremiah Wilson added 15 points.
