Congratulations are in order for the UB Men’s and Women’s basketball teams as both squads are dancing in March again! For the second consecutive season, both teams won consecutive MAC Conference championships, punching their tickets to the NCAA Men’s and Women’s college basketball championship tournaments!
Morning Bull caught up with a very busy UB Men’s head coach Nate Oats on Monday, following “selection Sunday”, where his team earned the 6 seed in this weekend’s opening round of the tournament.

It’s the highest seed ever for a team in the Mid-American Conference, following literally the season with the most wins for a team in MAC history. What a year it’s been for Nate Oats, champions again.
