The Buffalo Bulls had a long road ahead of them with Lamonte Bearden suspended three games for a violation of team rules. Friday night's national T.V. showdown with Ohio showed they are going to have to make some major adjustments without their leading scorer and floor general.
Ohio scored early and often, pounding Buffalo on the offensive end. Antonio Campbell had 8 points and 5 rebounds before the first media time out, and the rout was on. The Bobcats had 44 first half points, shooting 47 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc.
