Men's Basketball Journeys to Windy City for UAA Contest

02/21/08

The New York University men's basketball team will travel to the University of Chicago for the first game of their final University Athletic Association (UAA) road trip of the 2007-08 senior beginning Friday night at 8 p.m. (Central Standard Time).

Chicago will provide both LiveStats and an audio internet broadcast for the contest.

NYU enters with a record of 15-7 and 6-5 in the UAA after a stirring 92-85, double-overtime victory over then-#6 ranked University of Rochester in its home final on Sunday. The Violets overcame a 15-point deficit in the final 8:46 of regulation, and a six-point hole at the start of the first overtime, before reeling off the first nine points of the second extra session.

Sophomore Zachary Kuba netted a career-best 20 points, including a tying three-pointer with 2.8 seconds left in the first overtime. Freshman Richie Polan also produced 20 points for the Violets, who produced five double-digit scorers.

Chicago (15-7, 8-3 UAA) is tied for second with Brandeis University in the UAA standings. The Maroons own a 61-44 victory over NYU in the team's other meeting on Jan. 27 in Manhattan.
