BOISE — The Buffalo Bulls have been public enemy No. 1 all season.
They were selected to finish first in the MAC, a conference they have dominated three of the last four years, and there were even talks that they could run the table in conference play.
So every conference foe wanted a piece of them.
“Ever since we started, there’s been pressure on (us),” said Buffalo coach Nate Oats. “It was a disappointment if we weren’t winning by double digits.”
Which is why Thursday’s NCAA Tournament opener against fourth-seeded Arizona is a breath of fresh air for the 13th-seeded Bulls.
