It’s a shame there weren’t more fans allowed on hand live at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse to experience this one, because this game was the very definition of #MACtion, as the #2 Buffalo Bulls needed a late rally in regulation and overtime to defeat the #3 Akron Zips in their Mid-American Conference Men’s Tournament semifinal match by a final score of 81-74.
The teams traded ebb and flow runs throughout regulation. The Bulls looked like they might run away and hide early in the first half. They had a 10-point lead at 26-16 but the Zips did enough to hang around.
