The Bulls beat Akron 80-68 to clinch the regular season MAC championship for the first time in school history! Winning the regular season MAC championship gives the Bulls the #1 seed in the MAC tournament and guarantees an invite to the NIT.
UB will open in MAC Tournament play at noon on Thursday, March 8 with a quarterfinal against the 8-9 winner at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
I have watched almost all the games (thank you ESPN3) this year, as well as attending a few, and seriously considering making the trip to Cleveland should they advance to the finals. This is by far the best UB team I have seen and there have been some good teams. They can score in bunches and a number of players can light it up, they definitely do not rely on one or two players to carry the offense. They do get sloppy at times, but if they can win the MAC tourney, the coach of the team they play will have some sleepless nights leading the dance.
And only 3 seniors on the roster, so they could go back to back....
GO UB!!!
