That puts the Niagara Falls Country Club member on pace for his best season ever, and with two tournaments left on the schedule, Silver is even hoping to crack the nation’s top five.

And a bit hungrier.

But while silver shaped the mood, the morning was simply golden.

The leading scorer and the most-talked-about new addition combined to go 3 for 24 from the floor, and UB shot just 30.9 percent overall in a 58-57 loss to visiting Vermont.
