TIPOFF: 9 p.m. (ESPNU) from Morgantown
LINE: West Virginia favored by 10
KNOW THE FOE: Buffalo is the overwhelming pick to repeat as MAC champions, with three starters returning from a 27-9 team that reached the second round of the NCAA tournament. The trio of guards C.J. Massinburg, Jeremy Harris and 6-8 forward Nick Perkins combined for 48 points and 19 rebounds per game.
The Bulls opened this season Tuesday with an 82-67 win over St. Francis (Pa.), another quality mid-major. It seems not much has changed since we saw them among the NCAA’s top 10 in scoring last March.
