Two NCAA Division I programs meet as the Rider Broncs travel to the Canisius Golden Griffins for a MAAC regular-season men's basketball game at the Koessler Athletic Center in Buffalo, New York. The Koessler Athletic Center is Canisius College’s on-campus arena and has hosted Golden Griffins basketball since its opening in 1968. The matchup features MAAC rivals in a mid-major conference contest at a venue closely tied to Canisius’ home schedule.
