Game 19- Buffalo

[clarkwgriswold]

The Zips shuffle off to Buffalo for a Tuesday night contest against the Bulls.  The Bulls are 13-5 coming off of a last second OT loss at Oxford.

 

According to Gross this is the best Bulls team the current has had since his arrival and are very good offensively.  Wisconsin transfer sophomore guard Daniel Freitag leads the Bulls in scoring and rebounding at at 20.3 ppg and 4.5 rpg.  Junior guard Ryan Sabol is second in scoring at 17 ppg.   They are 6th in offense and defense in the MAC.

Buffalo has some weird games where they look top tier and others where they look like a 6 seed at best. Interested to see which we get

Two one-possession losses (Miami-Kent) and I don't think they play either one again (might be wrong) which puts UB in a bind when it comes to tiebreakers down the road. 

 

Edit: 87-81 Kent, one possession game until final seconds. UB does not have another game with Kent, but does have a return home game in a couple weeks against Miami.

Miami pulled today's victory out of their butt with a desperation contested 3 to tie The Buffs with 1/2 second in regulation.  I switched back to  Akron/Western skipping the OT.  The Buffs will test us.

Huge game. A great opportunity to pad our seed line. It will be challenging. Need a “A” game from us !
