Might just be best team they have played other then Kansas

Yes, tough and quick, and play a high defense. MU can't turn the ball over like tonight, and should start the game by focusing on getting the ball inside. MU's game isn't really to slow it down, but I don't see us running with the Bulls.

No can circle the wagons like the Buffalo Bulls.

This. Buffalo lives in transition. Will be ugly if we play this loose with the ball. Get them in a grind out game and we will win.

I wonder if Wojo asked the team to push, push tonight, just to test the idea of keeping up with Buffalo. (Admission: I'm only listening to the game, so not seeing what's going on.) If so, I hope he's realized that it shouldn't be a strategy on Friday.

Based on nothing more than the scores of their games, it looks like Buffalo has won both "run and gun" games and "grind it our games" pretty equally this year.

Had MU losing to Indiana, Kansas, and Buffalo in the non-con. Hoping I get my first game wrong this Friday.

Final score isn't a great indicator. Gotta look at turnovers and transition points. Buffalo is top 35 in the country in forcing turnovers and top 50 in efficiency in transition opportunities. That is how they like to win.

The guy was so, so good.

It was not comforting to watch Buffalo's guards up in the Syracuse's guards grills 5 ft from the half court line, then changing the channel to MU having turnover after turnover against North freaking Dakota early in the game.

Massinburg looks legit and Perkins is a Big Kid, gonna have to take care of the ball and make some shots

Great to be playing in MKE, keep the Fiserv streak alive and get the W.....Go Warriors!

The guy was so, so good.

The fact that all his jokes and shtick  were massive troll jobs basically made me love the guy.

"Eff you Al (Michaels)".

Wins at WVU and Cuse. This will be a solid test for MU. Should be a very good game.

Agreed. Those are not easy places to win. Buffalo will be a very good test for us.

Hopefully, we'll make 'em play like the Chicago Bulls!

[NCMUFan]

Does Buffalo remind anyone of Indiana?  Might be a good thing to review the Indiana game.  We need our wings Bailey and Cain to play their A-game.  Very athletic team coming to town.

[MUBigDance]

5 seniors...grown men.

KSU though had 3 seniors and 2 juniors.

Buffalo better but we're at home.

Should be good game if we keep TOs below 10-12. If not, we could lose double digits.

From what I have seen, Buffalo can win in a number of ways. They are mature, smart, tough and respond effectively in most any situation. They are not afraid to play from behind, waiting for the opportunity to turn you over and score in a burst. Their guard play is really good and extremely quick to the basket. Well coached as well. Syracuse though they had them down last night and Buffalo played serious game changing defense, stepped on their throat and never looked back.

I think we have superior raw talent. Need to bring the "D" big time! Doing that and playing tough with the ball to avoid a 21 turnover night we can win this game. I wish the students were in town!

Beating this team would earn substantial respect. These guys have street cred!

[Cheeks]

Buffalo had a large contingent of fans at Syracuse.  That won't happen at FF.  I'm guessing they are thrilled to have landed one of the two scalps they needed.  Will be a tough game, but MU pulls this out.

[The Lens]

KenPom now has them listed as an A game for us.   When's the last time MU had 3 A games in its non conf.  Great stuff.

Buffalo plays at a very fast pace and are extremely aggressive on putting pressure on the opposing guards bringing the ball up.  Their guard, Jordan, is a "floper", like Wiskey's Davison and I believe the announcers in pre-game stated he leads the country in getting charges called against him.  Markus will have to be very, very careful. 

They took 33 three point shots against Syracuse, think they hit 10. 

Key to game will probably be if Anim can guard Massinberg, who at 6ft 3 200lbs., will be a load.

I watched a few minutes of the Buffalo game before MU started and all I pictured was the turnover fest of the Indiana game.  Not a great feeling
