The Buffalo Bulls, recently crowned champions of the Mid-American Conference women’s basketball championship tournament, drew their assignment in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament on Saturday evening.
The Bulls will face traditional women’s basketball power Tennessee in a de facto road game in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the first round of Wichita Region action. Buffalo’s last appearance in the NCAA Tournament was three seasons ago in 2019, where they advanced to the second round as a ten-seed, beating Rutgers and losing to UConn.
Buffalo earned a 13 seed, and will face the fourth-seeded Lady Vols. All-time in the women’s tournament, the 4/13 matchup has generated 10 wins for the lower-seeded team, with a 10-108 record since 1988.
