Hours after 12-seed Yale upset Baylor on the same floor, UB Men's Hoops hit Providence's Dunkin Donuts Center looking for another upset in front of a friendly crowd that frequently broke out into pro-Bulls chants.
14-3 is a bigger disparity than 12-5, though, and the Bulls couldn't break past the #11-ranked Miami Hurricanes, falling in the first round, 79-72. Angel Rodriguez led Miami with 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, while underclassmen Lamonte Bearden, CJ Massinburg, and Nick Perkins combined to score 50 for Buffalo.
An ugly, herky-jerky start favored UB, who found some success from beyond the arc and muddled the game defensively.
