The Buffalo men’s basketball team vowed to avenge its offensively dismal eight-point loss to Miami Ohio on its home court just nine days ago.
And on Thursday it responded with an offensive barrage to begin the most critical part of the season.
The No. 3 seed Bulls (18-14, 10-8 Mid-American Conference) broke out in the three-point department and combined that with stingy defense to knock off No. 11 seed Miami Ohio (13-20, 6-12 MAC) 94-81 in MAC Tournament Quarterfinals in Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena Thursday night.
“I thought we as a staff probably did a lot better job preparing them for it this time, and they did a lot better job,” said head coach Nate Oats.
