Buffalo played a road game at Canisius and emerged victorious, finishing non conference play with an 12-1 record. But it was not as easy a win as many had predicted.
Whether is was UB being sluggish or Canisius treating the game like their “Super Bowl” the Griffs came out on fire and built up a 23-13 advantage in less than eight minutes of game play.
Then with 12:21 left UB started an impressive 24-3 run to establish their own double-digit lead and cruised much of the rest of the game. The Bulls would grow the lead to 18 at one point.
