Junior Jason Chen picked up a pair of wins while Sophomore Nick Turner captured the three-meter board in the Bearcat's season opening meet at the WNY Invitational.

With a lot more news on campus, here's this week's Bearcat Brief.

Amid a growing controversy surrounding the men's basketball program, head coach Kevin Broadus was put on a paid leave of absence. The school named Mark Macon the interim head coach.
This past week Broadus admitted to committing an NCAA recruiting violation.
That came after one of his players was arrested and 5 others were kicked off the team.
The basketball season begins Friday night with late-night madness at the Events Center beginning at 10:00.
At that time Macon will address the media along with new interim athletic director Jim Norris.
