The temperature may be in the 40s in Northern Ireland, but for No. 21 Buffalo, it is always in the 80s.
The Bulls improved their season scoring average to 87.5 points per game with a 99-67 victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the Basketball Hall of Fame Belfast Classic on Friday to advance to the final of the Goliath bracket in the eight-team, two-continent tournament against the University of San Francisco on Saturday.
Both teams are undefeated. The Bulls are 6-0 for the first time in 88 seasons, since the 1930-31 team finished 15-0.
"I was happy with the fight of our guys, and I think they are really starting to gel," coach Nate Oats told the school's website after the game against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
