West Virginia 68, Buffalo 62
You had to know a Bobby Hurley team was going to play tough, but sometimes toughness isn’t enough.
West Virginia managed to keep a scrappy Buffalo team at by getting to the free-throw line and limiting its turnovers in a win in the round of 64. Bob Huggins’ return to the NCAA Tournament was prolonged by the Mountaineers’ superior athleticism and the fact West Virginia’s quickness was too much for Buffalo to handle on the perimeter. The Bulls continued to battle late, but WVU had too much experience and didn’t let Buffalo get over the hump.
West Virginia’s defense will be key for the Mountaineers going forward. If they can continue to create easy baskets, they’re going to be a challenge to beat.
