The University at Buffalo men’s basketball team has qualified for the NCAA tournament. The Bulls, who are in their second season under head coach Nate Oats, finished fourth in this year’s Mid-American Conference championship tournament. That earned them a trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where they’ll face off against No. 1 seed Arizona State on Wednesday at 6:40 p.m. EST/3:40 p.m. PST (live stream).

UB, which is the MAC’s automatic qualifier, will play Arizona State on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in San Diego, California. The Bulls have played in the NCAA tournament four times and their last appearance was in 2016 when they lost to Kansas State 68-57 in San Jose, California.

The Bulls were the Mid-American Conference’s automatic qualifier, given to the team that wins the conference tournament. They finished the regular season with a 17-1 record in conference play and won their first MAC Tournament title since 2001.

UB was also awarded an at-large bid because they had already earned some of their NCAA Tournament seed points by winning games against other tournament teams. The Bulls have now been invited to play in five consecutive tournaments, giving them more than enough points for an automatic bid this year.

The Bulls earned a No. 14 seed in this year’s Big Dance, which means they’ll face No. 3 seed Michigan State on Friday night at 9:40 p.m ET (ESPN). The Spartans are favored by 2 points according to ESPN’s BPI and KenPom ratings systems; however, UB has won all four meetings between these two teams over the last three seasons—including both regular season matchups between them last year—so don’t count out Buffalo just yet!

UB will play Arizona State in the first round, who is coming off of a season where they made it to the Elite 8. UB has a 1-2 record against Arizona State, losing both games this season by an average margin of 12 points per game. The Bulls have only beaten Arizona State once since 2015, which was at home last season as well.

The game will take place on Wednesday because of Thanksgiving weekend and it will be hosted in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the BOK Center (capacity 17,000).

The Bulls have had a very successful season and will look to continue it in the NCAA tournament. They have a lot of momentum going into this game, so it should be exciting to see how far they can go!
