Offseason transition is the name of the game for Buffalo on the hardwood since Reggie Witherspoon left the program, but it hasn’t slowed the Bulls down as the program won their first MAC Championship in 2015 in their first year without all-time leading scorer Javon McCrea, and then repeated in 2016 without potential MAC Players of the Year Justin Moss and Shannon Evans.
So MAC fans might be wise to not celebrate Lamonte Bearden’s summer departure. And even if they’re playing with fire, UB brings to 2016-17 the oldest group they’ve had since McCrea’s senior year.
