Glad to see Buffalo get a 12 seed, which normally gives you a decent chance of a first round upset.

However, the Beefs got a very tough draw in WVU. With or without Staten, they are extremely tough to handle. Recently had Kansas beaten at Lawrence but let the game get away from them.

I think mountaineers will win this game. But, a 12 over a 5 is nothing new. WVU will need there bigs to step up and have a good game and make free throws

Staten's availability to play is key, as he seems to have a lot to do with their ability to score. I don't think this is a bad match-up at all as long as UB doesn't a decent job of handling the defensive pressure.

Buffalo's going to need Jutin Moss to be 100% healthy, or at least healthier than he was at the MAC Tourney. Hope his ankle heals up a bit. WVU's a tough draw, but Buffalo may be one of those 12 seeds that beats a 5-happens every Tournament.

I agree, a helthy Moss is a must. If he's heavily dinged I don't like Beef's chances.

Hurley vs. Huggins...high likability quotient there. Rooting for the Bulls in support of the MAC and also for my general dislike of WVU fans I have met in my travels.

Great point.

When I saw this matchup and location, I was thinking about how awesome a #12 seed Ohio would be playing in Columbus.
