Here we go, folks…It’s time for the Runnin’ Griffs to take the court.
Monday night your Canisius College men’s basketball team takes to the KAC court to battle Boston University in a re-enactment of the old North Atlantic Conference wars that were battled throughout the 80’s when Nick Macarchuk patrolled the Griff sidelines and Rick Pitino and Mike Jarvis directed the Terriers.
This year’s contest features a Canisius team led by new coach Jim Baron against a Boston squad seeking its third postseason appearance in the past four years.
Tickets are available by calling 888-2885 or logging onto Ticketmaster. For additional information on the game and this year’s Griffs, visit gogriffs.com, or follow the team @gogriffs.
Note: Only general admission tickets remain for the 11/17 doubleheader featuring the Canisius women against Bucknell and the men’s team versus Bona. Call the ticket office ASAP if you want to attend.

The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will continue its 2012-2013 Sacred Spaces Concert Series with a performance on Monday, November 12th at 7:30 PM in Our Lady, Help of Christians Church, 4125 Union Road, Cheektowaga, NY.
The program is free and open to the public. It will feature works of Mendelssohn, Lotti, Lauridsen, Bernstein, Dawson and others.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed six years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments – namely, the sanctuaries of our region’s present and former churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly thirty houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Now in its fourteenth season, The Canisius College Chorale remains one of Western New York’s most active collegiate music ensembles. Composed of 120 undergraduate and graduate members, the chorale regularly presents concert programs to school, church, and community audiences throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario. In recent years, the Chorale has performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ars Nova Chamber Musicians, Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
