Blake Hamilton's 3-point dagger with 1.8 seconds left gave Buffalo (20-14 record) a 64-61 win over Akron in the Mid-American Conference's championship game. The NCAA tourney invite caps a roller-coaster ride for Buffalo and its first-year coach Nate Oats, who replaced Bobby Hurley as head coach. Hurley, who left for Arizona State, also took the Bulls' second-team All-MAC point guard Shannon Evans and prime recruit Torian Graham with him to Tempe. More adversity hit when Justin Moss, the 2015 MAC Player of the Year, was expelled in late August.
