UB lost again to another ranked team, but put together a strong defensive showing in the first half combined with a fiery stretch early in the second to keep themselves in the game against #2 Iowa State until the final ten minutes. Our takeaways:
Matt's Takes
1. It's nice to have Raheem Johnson back
In any capacity, it would be good to have five more fouls and a second 6-10 body to put down low, but Johnson was better than his 2014-15 form in his first action of the year, and better in his first game back from a foot injury that was initially expected to keep him out for 6-8 weeks.
