The Central Michigan and Buffalo men's basketball teams were missing their leading scorers for their game Saturday. One team, however, had plenty of offense.

CMU fell to the Bulls 74-61 at Alumni Arena in a rematch of last season's Mid-American Conference Championship game.

Junior guard Braylon Rayson did not travel with the team to New York as he returned to Texas to attend the funeral of his grandmother, who passed away last week. The Chippewas scored the lowest points in a game this season Saturday without Rayson, who averages 17.
