The Buffalo men’s basketball team now knows its first opponent for its second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
The Bulls (20-14, 10-8 Mid-American Conference) earned a No. 14 seed in the South region and will play No. 3 seed Miami (25-7, 13-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) in the round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. The game will be played in Providence, Rhode Island.
Last season, the Bulls entered the national tournament as a No. 12 seed and lost in their first game against No. 5 seed West Virginia, 68-62, in Columbus, Ohio.
The Bulls received an automatic bid by claiming their second straight MAC Championship Saturday.
