3 Point Shot: Getting the BSU Monkey off our backs

PrintThe last time Buffalo beat Ball State Yassin Idbihi had 23 points and 12 rebounds, and Calvin Cage added 21 points. Beating the Cards is always nice, but beating them to end this drought while extending a current winning streak that capped off a pretty good day for UB Athletics.
Point 1) Jarod Oldham put together one of the best all around performances that ended with zero points that you will ever see. Six assist, two blocks, two steals, and four rebounds. He also keyed off the play of the year when he took the ball away from the cards, then sliding on his back he lobbed it to Javon McCrea, who then fed Filzen for an open three.
Point 2) Mitchell Watt, once again, was almost the sole reason UB did not start absurdly slow out of the gate. He, and Auraum Nuiriankh were UB's offense for the first ten or so minutes of the games.
Point 3) UB was 9-10 from the charity stripe and 10-19 from beyond the arch, those kind of numbers will win most MAC games..

Good all around game
I was concerned going into the half, because Mitch was carrying most of the weight, and Zach hadn’t quite found his shot yet. Reggie must have put something special into their Gatorade, because the boys came out of the locker room on fire in the second half.
9 of the 10 made treys were in the second half.
Aurum scored all 8 of his points in the first, TW III scored all of his 8 in the second.
And like NIU, a nice spread of minutes, Mitch played 37, but nobody else was really overextended, hopefully keeping legs fresh for the run back through the East.
