NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES MEN'S BASKETBALL

Metro Atlantic Athletic ConferenceD1winter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Niagara University's men's basketball program operates from Gallagher Center in upstate New York as a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference member representing 4,033 students at the institution founded in 1856. Greg Paulus, who took over as head coach before the current season, is overseeing a 13-player roster attempting to stabilize a program that finished 7-19 overall during the winter campaign. The Purple Eagles struggled particularly on the road with a 2-13 record away from home while managing a more respectable 5-6 mark at Gallagher Center, and their 4-12 conference record kept them in the lower portion of MAAC standings.

Offensive production has been a challenge for Niagara, averaging just 63.3 points per game while allowing 71.0 to opponents—a 7.7-point scoring deficit that reflects the defensive adjustments Paulus is implementing in his tenure. The home-court advantage, modest as it is with that 5-6 record, suggests some baseline familiarity with Gallagher Center's dynamics that the roster hopes to build upon as the program seeks consistency under new leadership within MAAC conference play.
