Buffalo’s defense of their Mid American Tournament Championship begins against Akron who, for all intents and purposes, is playing a home game at the Q.
In game one the Bulls had more than a ten point lead that evaporated into two scores late and the Bulls clung to their lead, winning by six points.
In game two Akron went punch for punch with UB until the four minute mark when the Bulls pulled away for a 13 point victory.
The point is Akron has been a handful, and they looked like a problem long before they demolished the Miami Redhawks in the Campus round.
