Buffalo Earns First AP Top 25 Poll Ranking in School History

The Bulls are 2-0 heading into tonight's game at Southern Illinois, which will tip off at 8pm on ESPN+. Buffalo received the national ranking after a big victory Friday night at then nationally-ranked West Virginia, a 99-94 overtime win.

Buffalo received 154 points in the poll, good for the 25th spot, just one point away from #24 and future opponent, Marquette. Duke received 48 first place votes and is ranked #1 with 1,606 points.
