The 6-1 Scarlet Knights got off to a slow start against the 7-1 Buffalo Bulls team tonight falling behind by as many as 9 points before closing to a 1 point deficit 27-26 at the half. Marquis Webb (10 points) and Quincy Douby (13 points) were the only dependable scorers as RU struggled to develop any kind of inside game. Anthony Farmer was the only other scorer for RU with 3 points.
A 14-0 run spanning the half saw RU eventually jumping out to an early second half lead of 36-29 before the Bulls managed to crawl back. The Bulls had their own 10-2 run to retake the lead 39-38 as RU had little luck in the paint and had to battle some questionable officiated. RU went cold from the perimeter and Buffalo eventually moved to a 12-point lead with about a minute left. The final score was 62-53 as Buffalo improved to 8-1.
