Perhaps none of the smiles were as big as the one on Mulkey himself. The Bulls (1-0) dominated Navy (0-2) from the opening tip to the final whistle en route to an 88-46 thumping to open the season. The win set the record for the largest margin of victory in a season opener. Mulkey was grateful just to get back out on the court, but his performance made it a bit sweeter. “A lot of work has been put in for a long time,” Mulkey said. “It was a great feeling to step on the court and get that jersey back on. [Head] coach [Reggie Witherspoon] talked about the anxiousness, which was definitely there for me…But as soon as I got back in the groove, I settled into the role.” Mulkey, who redshirted last season to be able to play this year, had two turnovers in the first 40 seconds of play. But he quickly flipped the switch and turned in one of the more inspirational performances by a Bulls player in recent memory. The senior finished the game with 16 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds and seven steals. He was pulled from the game with five minutes remaining in the second half, ending his chance at the first triple-double in Bulls history. The story of the game for the Bulls was their effort on the defensive end of the floor. Buffalo played solid defense the whole game, forcing Navy to shoot 26 percent from the field and commit 25 turnovers in the loss. Fifteen of those turnovers came off of steals by the Bulls. “Defensively, we had pretty good energy,” Witherspoon said. “Once we got our anxious- ness out, we eventually settled down.” Although not evident by the score at any point in the game, the Bulls struggled at times to find their shot. The team shot 29 percent from 3-point range in the first half before figuring things out in the second. Witherspoon wasn’t concerned with the lack of shooting in the first because of the Bulls’ effort on the glass. “The shots we took were good shots, and they were from good shooters,” Wither- spoon said. “Like I say, if all else fails, there is rebounding. Eventually those shots will go in if they’re good shots.” The Bulls owned the glass in the game, outrebounding the Midshipmen 56-31. Fresh- man forward Javon McCrea played only 13 minutes but led the rebounding effort for the Bulls, as he finished with a double-double (14 points and 10 rebounds). The talented underclassman also added four blocked shots and three steals, showcasing his full arsenal in his first career game. “I was really nervous, but I tried to hide it as well as I could,” McCrea said. “The speed of the game is different [from high school]. I’m not up against those little guys anymore that I can bully around.” Saturday’s game was the first time two players recorded double-doubles in the same game (Mulkey and McCrea) since 2007, when former Bulls Yassin Idbihi and Parnell Smith did it. Offensively, it was a game of runs for the Bulls, who refused to let Navy get back into the game at any point. To start the game, Buf- falo went on a 7-0 run, which junior forward Mitchell Watt finished off with a monstrous dunk that brought the 1,391 fans in attendance to their feet. With six minutes left in the first half, the Bulls utilized an 11-point run to extend their lead to 25 points and all but stick a dagger in the Midshipmen. Junior guard Zach Filzen struggled early on, going 1-for-9 before finding his stroke at the end of the first half. He hit two from downtown before the end of the half and then came out on fire in the second. The basket seemed to be the size of a trash can in the second half as Filzen scored 10 of his team-high 18 points and shot 67 percent from the field. Filzen appreciated some advice his coach gave him at halftime. “My teammates and coach gave me a lot of confidence,” Filzen said. “Coach even told me, if you do anything, don’t stop shooting. I just needed one to go through the basket before I was able to settle down.” The unsung hero of the game may have been junior forward Dave Barnett. The former walk-on from East Aurora, N.Y. finished with eight points and six rebounds and was in the right place at the right time throughout the game. His grittiness and determination gave the Bulls extra possessions that helped extend the lead in several key situations. All five of Buffalo’s freshmen got a chance to play in the game and record at least a point. Forward Cameron Downing scored six, for- ward Auraum Nuiriankh scored four, guard Jarod Oldham added three, and guard Corey Raley-Ross scored one point. Buffalo plays its next game on the road, traveling to Youngstown State to battle the Penguins (1-0) on Tuesday night.

BEST BUFFALO BALLIN’BRIAN JOSEPHSAsst. Sports Editor
The Queen City has a lot more places to play sports than Alumni Arena or your backyard. Here are the best places to go to for recreational fun at the University at Buffalo and around the city.
FootballOn-Campus: Although Walter Kunz Field is the most well-kept field available to students, it is often crowded with intramural activity. Governors’ field has a decent enough amount of space to offer playing time to all campus students. The field is kept relatively clean, and its location near Governors Complex provides a good opportunity to invite more people to play the sport. Off-Campus: Buffalo locals have come to the general consensus that Delaware Park is the spot to go to for football. Visitors have described the park as a lively, aesthetically pleasing area that is prime for recreational sports. The wide-open field is favored due to its few elevation changes and accessible location. Plus, it is only a little way off of the Main Street line.
BasketballOn-Campus: Alumni Arena is the mainstay for intramural basketball on North Campus. As a result, you can find a lot of competition in the triple gym when the league games are not in session. The only thing a person has to do is to bring a ball and wait a while to get on the fresh hardwood.
Off-Campus: Delaware Park’s outdoor basketball courts have cracked cement and torn nets. However, it still remains the spot to go to for Buffalo natives. People looking for quality courts will have to look at the Sweet Home courts or the athletic facilities in the Collegiate Village near South Campus.
BaseballOn-Campus: There are two baseball fields across the parkway at the Northtown Center, formerly known as the Amherst Pepsi Center. These sets of bases are almost always open despite the fact that it is the only baseball field near campus. There are many other open spaces on campus, but if you want to run the bases, the short trip across Millersport Highway is well worth it.
Off-Campus: A good number of Buffalo’s parks have a baseball field. However, they are not the main draw for many recreationalists. The people who go off campus solely to play baseball are usually at the high schools. These schools’ fields are usually well-maintained and are open to the public. Two standouts are Amherst Central High School and Lancaster High School. Others go to Shoshone Park near the LaSalle Station of the Metro because of its serviceable baseball fields.
SoccerOn-Campus: Unless you want to spend the time to set up a net at Governors’ field, Walter Kunz field is the place to go for soccer. Just be prepared to wait if there are intramurals going on.Off-Campus: Soccer players will run into the same situation as baseball players when it comes to off-campus fields. High school fields are the best bet, though Shoshone Park is another viable option. How-ever, they will have to mark off the goal line when they play there, since Shoshone is mainly a baseball park.
HockeyOn-Campus: Despite Buffalo being a hockey town, there are not many popular places to hit the ice. The one place to bring your skates to near campus is the Northtown Center. This spot has roller hockey, ice hockey, and figure skating available to its paying customers. Also, the open grass outside the complex provides a great opportunity for some field hockey.
Off-Campus: For more than 10 years, the Rotary Rink at the downtown Fountain Plaza offers free skating to the public. Skate rental for students is cheap at $3. For a more competitive edge, the Epic Center in Williamsville houses both a field and inline hockey facility. There is a fee to use the rinks, but with a few friends, it shouldn’t be too much of a factor.
TennisOn-Campus: The Ellicott Tennis Courts are the perfect spot to go for tennis aficionados. With 13 hard courts, thetenniscomplexensuresthatnooneiseverleftonthesidelines.Ifthecourtsaregoodenoughforthe2010Mid-AmericanConferenceregularseasonchampions,thensurelytheymustbegoodenoughforindividualslookingforasolidtennismatch.Off-Campus:TheMillerTennisCenterinWil-liamsvilleoffersanoff-campusalternativefortennisaction,buttennisplayerswillhavetopayformembershipthere.
