CLEVELAND -- Once Ohio took care of Northern Illinois on Thursday night, all that was left to do was watch two teams it already had swept in the regular season battle it out for another chance at the Bobcats.
Buffalo earned that chance with a 94-81 over Miami.
The Bobcats and Bulls will meet Friday at 9 p.m. in the Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinals. Ohio defeated Buffalo by scores of 94-75 at Buffalo and 103-96 in overtime at home earlier this season.
Its point totals against Buffalo were its two highest of the season.
