COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Buffalo women’s basketball team’s NCAA Women’s Tournament game against Ohio State Friday looked exactly what it was: two different basketball teams from two different levels.
The Bulls were run out of the gym by their Big Ten Conference counterpart.
My first reaction was shock that Buffalo, fresh off a successful conference tournament run, could look barley competitive. Then I stopped and remembered just how far this team had come from the start of the regular season – how we started to see some of its strengths and how players you didn’t know about five months ago stepped up in moments you could’ve never imagined.
