GAME NOTES
 
Howard has played without starting junior guard Cedric Taylor III (Atlanta), who has been out all season with a wrist injury…The Bison have been looking for someone to fill the scoring void, which has allowed for the accelerated development of sophomore forward Travelle Bryson (Anderson, S.C.), redshirt senior guard Ed Holland III (Philadelphia), sophomore guard Isaiah Brown (Ramsey, N.J.) and senior guard Ose Okojie (Brampton, Canada), who are all beginning to make contributions.
