Bryant & Stratton Buffalo Men’s Basketball Earns No. 5 Seed in USCAA National Tournament
BUFFALO, NY – The Bryant & Stratton College Buffalo men's basketball team has secured the No. 5 seed in the upcoming USCAA Men's Basketball National Tournament and will continue its tradition of national tournament excellence.
The Bobcats enter postseason play with a 19–9 overall record, including an 11–5 mark in NACIA conference play, showcasing consistency and competitiveness throughout the season. Under the leadership of Head Coach Damone Brown, Bryant & Stratton Buffalo has continued to establish itself as one of the premier programs in the USCAA.
For the second straight season, the USCAA National Tournament will be held in Buffalo, N.Y., with Bryant & Stratton Buffalo serving as the host institution. Tournament games will take place at the historic Burt Flickinger Athletic Center and the Villa Maria College Villa Athletic Center.
Since the program's inception in 2018, the Bobcats have qualified for every USCAA National Tournament, making this their seventh appearance and reinforcing a culture of sustained success. Bryant & Stratton is also coming off a 2025 national tournament appearance, continuing its run as a consistent contender on the national stage.
Offensively, the Bobcats are led by dynamic scorer TaRon Benton, who averages 21.6 points per game, ranking among the top scorers in the association. Benton - a junior guard from Buffalo - is surely in the mix for National Player of the Year. On the glass, junior Terrian Wester anchors the interior with an impressive 11.6 rebounds per game, providing a dominant presence in the paint.
As the No. 5 seed, Bryant & Stratton Buffalo will open tournament play against No. 4 seed North American University at 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3rd inside the historic Flickinger Center.
"We're proud of the work our team has put in all season," said Brown. "While we're happy to have qualified for another national tournament, our guys are focused on one goal; and that's winning three more games. North American presents an extremly tough opening challenge and we have to be ready to go from the jump. I'm confident our guys will be."
With postseason experience, strong leadership, and balanced production on both ends of the floor, the Bobcats now set their sights on North American University as they begin their pursuit of a USCAA National Championship.
