The great strength of UB's current position in the MAC standings is that the Bulls have risen to the top of the conference while amassing road wins and clinching tiebreakers against many of the other contenders.
Tonight, the script was flipped in a 71-69 home loss to Toledo. The rockets were lead by Jonathan Williams and his total of 15 points.
Buffalo was dealt a blow before the opening tip, as sophomore point guard Lamonte Bearden missed the game to a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. He had scored 16 in UB's earlier win against the Rockets.
