Taken Down: Bulls Finish Last in MAC Tournament
By JOE KONZE JR | Mar. 6, 2012Senior Kevin Smith has been one of the standouts for the wrestling team this season. He was one of Buffalo's only hopes for Mid-American Conference glory in this year's tournament. But he fell short. On a day where Smith (28-7) and the Bulls (7-14, 1-4 Mid-American Conference) looked to add a MAC championship to their resumes, they fell well short of that goal as they finished last out of six teams in the MAC Championships in Athens, Ohio on Sunday. The Bulls finished with just 21.5 points, and watched Central Michigan (14-5, 5-0 MAC) win its 11th straight MAC conference championship. "I didn't think our teams' performance overall was very great," said head coach Jim Beichner.

Bulls Break Records But Fall Short of Title
By BEN TARHAN | Mar. 4, 2012While the eyes of Buffalo were on Alumni Arena Saturday night for the men's basketball game, another Buffalo team was making its own run at a championship. The men's swimming and diving team came into this years' Mid-American Conference Championships as defending champions with expectations of winning a second title. But the Bulls (6-1, 1-0 MAC) fell just short this year, finishing 19 points behind Eastern Michigan (4-3, 1-0 MAC). Buffalo went into the final day of the meet trailing by 11 points, and took the lead after a strong performance in the 200-yard backstroke.
