Buffalo’s Blake Hamilton shot a dagger through the University of Akron men’s basketball team and all its fans as he buried a three point shot with just 2 ticks left on the clock to give his team a 64-61 victory in the championship game of the Mid-American Conference Saturday night.
With the win, the Bulls will receive the automatic bid into the NCAA Basketball Tournament that starts next week. Meanwhile, Akron must sit and wait to see what happens.
“Tough loss for our guys. I feel bad for them,” Akron head coach Keith Dambrot said. “Battled the whole way, put themselves in position to win, and just did’t make enough plays when in mattered.
