Bull Media Review...

Just a quick check in with the Buffalo Bulls media coverage.

The most notable thing is that everyone seems to recognize how the new playoff structure makes finishing in the Top 4 basically imperative in winning the MAC tournament.  This is placing increasing pressure on the regular season games, which is why I think it was exactly the right thing to do.  Based on this thinking, Buffalo really needed a win at home against Akron, and they knew it and they got it.

In other notes, Zach Filzen has really been struggling in conference games but had a good game against Akron.

And, the Buffalo News reports on "rumors" that the MAC will scrap divisions for basketball and go back to an 18 game schedule, reflecting the expense and difficulty in getting non-conference games at home.  I also applaud this...combined with the new format, I think we'd be able to extend the most exciting part of the season.
