On paper, the results weren’t pretty for the Buffalo men’s basketball team last week.
The Bulls (4-5) have lost three in a row, including a closer-than-you-think game against No. 5 Duke and a first half back-and-forth affair against No. 2 Iowa State.
But if you watched the games, you saw the Bulls begin to make strides as they head into the final stretch of non-conference play.
Defensively, the Bulls appear to be a different team – one that can matchup with some of the best teams in the country. They entered the season with size from their forward positions, as guys like junior wing Willie Conner, senior forward/guard Rodell Wigginton and junior forward Blake Hamilton can help defend multiple positions.
