Junior wing Blake Hamilton hit a game-winning three point shot with three seconds remaining Saturday to give the Bulls their second straight MAC Tournament Championship and send the team to its second straight NCAA Tournament.
After the men’s basketball team’s Mid-American Conference Semifinal victory Friday night, junior wing Willie Conner said that Buffalo needed to play a complete 40 minutes in order to beat No. 1 seed Akron and expressed disappointment when looking back at his team’s two regular season losses to the Zips.
On Saturday night, Conner’s teammate and fellow wing, junior Blake Hamilton, made the final seconds of those 40 minutes count by knocking down a game-winning three-pointer to give the Bulls (20-14, 10-8 Mid-American Conference) their second straight MAC Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance.
