1. Diverse offensive success
Other than a stretch in the first half, when UB seemed a little too eager to take long shots early in the shot clock, and a shorter one later when Buffalo had established their control when they got a little streetball, the offense was beautiful. There was ball movement, there was off-ball movement, there was kickout passes to open players on the perimeter, and there were drop off passes down low turned into points. It was I thought the smartest offensive performance we've seen all season.
2. They're not Moss or McCrea, but the big men are critically important
UB was never in danger of losing this one, despite what you might have heard from cranky guy in Section 204, but they're a very different team when Ikenna Smart, Nick Perkins, and David Kadiri have to sit with foul trouble.
