Down. Up. Down. Up.Those are the directions of the roller coaster ride the Buffalo Bulls men's basketball has been on this season, as they lost their first three games to go 0-3, won the next five and then dropped the next six to go to 5-9.But, most recently the Bulls have been on one of their positive streaks - a three-game winning one - and look to continue their success at 7 p.m.
