Buffalo Digs Down Deep to Outlast Bowling Green in MAC Championship, 87-73

For the fourth time in the last five years, the Buffalo Bulls are the Mid-American Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament Champions and will represent the league in the NCAA Tournament. The Bulls pulled away late from Bowling Green to secure an 87-73 win in the championship game at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Saturday night.

The second half was a back and forth affair and Bowling Green held leads of 64-61 and 65-63 with just over eight minutes to play in the game. Both teams seemed to struggle with fatigue, playing their third game in as many nights.
