MAC Men's Basketball Tournament Central
CLEVELAND, Ohio – In a game where the outcome of the contest came down to one final shot, the University of Akron's aspirations for its fifth automatic NCAA Tournament berth were denied by a three pointer with three seconds remaining from Blake Hamilton which lifted Buffalo (20-14) to a 64-61 victory over the Zips (26-8) inside Quicken Loans Arena.
Akron must now await the NCAA Tournament selections on Sunday, March 13, to see if its 2015-16 resume is worthy of an at-large selection to the 68-team field.
