"In position for top-two seed, Bulls close out regular season"

By Tom Dinki | Mar. 2, 2014

The men's basketball team enters the final week of the regular season in prime position to enter the Mid-American Conference Tournament as a top-two seed, which would automatically place them in the semifinal round - two wins from the NCAA Tournament. The Bulls (18-8, 12-4 MAC) play at Akron (18-11, 10-6 MAC) Tuesday night and close out their regular season Saturday against Bowling Green (12-17, 6-10) at Alumni Arena. With a win over Akron Tuesday night, Buffalo would clinch the MAC East regular-season title, but this will not guarantee them a top-two seeding.
