BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) The University at Buffalo has rewarded women's basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack with a new five-year contract after she led the Bulls to their first NCAA Tournament berth last season.

The new deal was announced on Tuesday and runs through the 2020-21 season. The contract replaces Legette-Jack's previous deal which was scheduled to run out in 2019.

In four years, she has a 68-60 record at Buffalo and is coming off a 20-14 season that ended with a first-round tournament loss to Ohio State. The 20 wins were the most for the Bulls since 1996-97, and first since joining the Mid-American Conference in 1998.
