BG vs Buffalo

BG plays in Canada tonight, or at least it always feels that way.

Huge game on terms of seedings and home court. A Buffalo win guarantees them at least the #3 seed. A BG win, along with an EMU loss and NIU loss gives BG the #8 seed and would host EMU Monday night.

I think BG pulls off the upset!

We are down 13-2 and Buffalo isn't play its normal line up. Playing their senior bench players and we still down 11. Referees not doing us any favors either.

22-9 at the under 12 timeout. Ugh(ly).

Down 14 now. Shooting 20%, and 2-6 from the line. Real ugly. To make things worse, Toledo is beating Eastern and Ball State beating NIU.

Well considering how terrible we were most of the half I'll take down by 8 at the half

Denny with a couple nice plays and 3-3 from the line for BG to finish on. 7-0 run. Only down 8

Only four players hit a field goal in the first half, but Frye, Lillard, and Denny did a good job keeping us in it

Fugly way to start the second with UB unable to miss beyond the arc. What was once a 6 pt lead is now 16...I don't like this teams chances of coming back from deficits like this against quality opponents.

How is that not a goaltend. The ball hit the backboard and then was blocked out of bounds

That's what I thought too.

If we don't figure out a way to guard the arc it's over.

We've actually looked competent on offense this half but no threes for us and a bunch for them...

For a PG, Ali is a terrible FT shooter.

Ohio wins. Locks up #2 seed. Buffalo #3.
Western wins, #4. Kent or Ball State be 5 and 6.

With loss BG will be #10 seed and will face the Rockets Monday night.
