They say it’s hard to beat a team three times.
Buffalo had beaten Miami handily twice during the regular season, once by 28 points and another by 24 points. The second-seeded Bulls found that old saying true on Thursday evening, struggling to put the seventh-seed RedHawks away until late in the game, surviving by a final score of 74-63 in Mid-American Conference Championship Tournament action at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
The first half saw Buffalo hold the lead throughout, leading by as many as 11 before settling on a lead of 40-32 to end the half.
