Men's basketball faces tough slate this week

After playing the bottom two teams in the Mid-American Conference last week, the men's basketball team faces a greater challenge this week. The Bulls (13-7, 7-3 MAC) will play on the road against Miami Ohio (9-12, 5-5 MAC) Wednesday night and return to Alumni Arena Saturday afternoon to face Ohio (17-6, 7-3 MAC). Buffalo enters the week tied with Ohio and two games ahead of the RedHawks. The Bulls have been hot as of late, as they have won four of their past five games by at least nine points. Senior forward Javon McCrea took advantage of the inferior competition last week, winning MAC East Player of the Week after averaging 22 points and 17 rebounds in games against Ball State (4-17, 1-9 MAC) and Central Michigan (8-14, 1-9 MAC). McCrea climbed up the all-time school scoring list as well, moving into third place all-time in points and in rebounds, with a career-high 20-rebound performance against the Chippewas.
