Game Storylines

- Game Preview: Buffalo heads back to the road for their final two stops of February Frenzy, beginning this afternoon at Ohio. The Bulls have road games against the Bobcats and Bowling Green next week before closing the season with two straight at home. The Bulls are coming off a 69-56 loss to Miami (OH) on Wednesday night, while Ohio picked up its first MAC win with a victory over Kent State.

- Records Set In First Meeting: The Bulls defeated Ohio 73-36 in the first meeting on Jan. 13. The 37-point victory for the Bulls was their largest win since a 92-38 win over Youngstown State on Dec. 13, 2009. It was also UB's largest margin of victory ever against a Mid-American Conference opponent, and the first 30-point win against a MAC team since Jan. 16, 1999 vs. Bowling Green. The Bulls also pulled down 61 rebounds in the game, the second most by a MAC team this season and the most by a UB squad since pulling down 62 against Niagara on December 11, 2004.

- Baccas Moves Up In Career Records: Despite being just a sophomore, Christa Baccas has already moved into the top 10 in career blocked shots with 91. Baccas leads the MAC with 61 blocks this season which is good for the top 20 in the nation. She has more blocks alone this season, than three MAC teams have combined.
