Lamonte Bearden returned from suspension, though not to the starting lineup, and Blake Hamilton scored a career-high 24 points in a 88-74 win that put Buffalo back on the right track over Bowling Green Saturday afternoon.
UB trailed 42-38 at the half after leading through the first ten minutes, and overcame a 14-2 run before a halftime thanks to a 50-point second half during which Hamilton and Bearden combined for 27 points, 7 assists, and an 8-9 performance from the line.
Those stats proved key for Buffalo over the full 40, as UB overcame a 54% shooting performance from the visitors thanks to 10 steals, 18 Falcon turnovers, and 33 trips to the line, from which the Bulls generated 25 points.
