The last time the Buffalo men’s basketball team was in Cleveland, it was cutting down nets celebrating a trip to the big dance.
One year later, the Bulls say they don’t feel pressure to repeat as Mid-American Conference champions.
“It’s our building,” said senior guard Jarryn Skeete about the Quicken Loans Arena, where the MAC Tournament is hosted. “We’re defending champions, right? I think it’s a pressure on everybody else.”
The No. 3 seed Bulls (17-14, 10-8 MAC) will play No. 11 seed Miami Ohio (13-19, 6-12 MAC) in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio Thursday.
