I really think Buffalo played really good tonight and we bailed ourselves out by nailing 3 pointers. I don't know that Akron will be as tough an opponent as Buffalo was tonight. That is not to say Buffalo > Akron, I just thought Buffalo played a great game.
Andrew, have to agree with you that Buffalo played a great game and Mitchell Watt played like he was the conference MVP (oh, yeah, he is!). However, IM(H)O Buffalo lacks completeness -- or perhaps is vulnerable to a team with really exceptional perimeter play. I'm not talking about bombs from deep; rather, exceptional, athletic defense and efficient offensive movement. Despite the Bulls' inside strength, they don't match up well against OUr team
However, Akron is a whole other deal. Again IM(H)O, the Zips are the most complete team in the MAC this year. They are capable in so many different ways. Early season was admittedly a long time ago, but nevertheless I watched them dismantle Mississippi State in Starkville. We really have to play both skilfully and strategically to claim a win in the MAC championship game against them.
