Buffalo did everything they could do, and they played very hard. On defense, Jordan, Clark and Graves were up in our jocks all night, creating havoc. On offense, they had 4 guys who could shoot and that they did (34 3 ptfga’s). After Clark hit a couple shots early, we defended them pretty well outside (they only hit 10 3’s), but their guards penetrated and that allowed them to score or get the ball into Perkins (who’s a load). They had him and Smith on the floor at the same time for a few minutes and their size made a difference, as we were only +2 on the glass. Perkins got blocked by Chukwu several times until he figured out that he could back him into the restricted area and overpower him. Chukwu and Moyer couldn’t seem to recognize that he was a lefty (know your personnel).

Overall, a gutsy performance by a very aggressive, quick and determined opponent. This was a game to survive, not to shine. Oshae finally started driving the ball down the stretch and his foul shooting (and a couple key buckets by FH) made the difference.  But it was ugly.
