The #2 Buffalo Bulls looked like a team on a mission in a convincing 82-43 win over the #3 Akron Zips on Friday in Mid-American Conference semifinal action at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Bulls, now 24-8 on the year, advance to tomorrow’s MAC Championship Game against the #5 Ball State Cardinals. Friday’s result was the third time this season that the Bulls have beaten the Zips, with all contests decided by 17 points or more. So much for the old adage of it being hard to beat a team three times in a season.
Akron actually had the lead at 4-0 in the first minute of the game and had its last lead at 6-5 with five minutes to go in the first quarter.
