It took 45 minutes to decide a winner.
After a missed shot in the final moments of regulation, the Buffalo men’s basketball team had five extra minutes to knock off the very team that head coach Nate Oats said “embarrassed” Buffalo the last time they met.
It was a better effort this time around for Buffalo, but it was still the same result.
The Bulls (16-13, 9-7 Mid-American Conference) fell to Ohio (19-9, 10-6 MAC) 103-96 in overtime on Saturday afternoon in Athens, Ohio. The Bobcats have now swept the season series against the Bulls and the loss pushes Buffalo down to third place in the MAC East with two games remaining in the regular season.
