Coming off just their second lost of the season in dramatic fashion the University at Buffalo Bulls basketball team goes on the road again Friday vs old rival Kent State.
UB is favored by 9 points for the 6:30 pm tip. The game airs on CBS Sports Network.
Kent state (15-4 (4-2 in conference]) has won three straight at home including a ten point win over Northern Illinois just last week. Granted, this month they have a pair of 20+ losses in conference but this will still be no cake walk for the Bulls. Kent state has wins at Vanderbilt and Oregon State this season.
UB's net ranking currently sits at 23 while Kent State comes in at 134. Buffalo can't afford a two game slide but nothing can be taken for granted in conference play.
Since the AP Top 25 came out Monday and the ub bulls lost by 2 at N illinois:
# 19 iowa lost @ home v ranked team
# 21 NC St lost v ranked team
# 16 Auburn lost
# 22 Miss St lost by 21 @ uk
#14 Tx Tech lost by 13
# 20 Ole Miss lost by 21 @ bama
# 13 MD lost
#24 iowa st lost
# 10 Va Tch lost
So it would be surprising if Buffalo fell out of the top 25 with a win Friday.
