St. Bonaventure 60, Buffalo 58
BUFFALO, NY – St. Bonaventure's Marcus Posley hit a jumper with eight seconds remaining on Wednesday night, leading the visiting Bonnies to a 60-58 win over the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York men's basketball team.  The loss drops the Bulls to 4-3 on the season.
It was a tough night offensively for the Bulls who went just 1-of-13 from three point range and 19-of-32 from the free throw line, while also committing a season-high 21 turnovers.  Despite that, the Bulls played solid defense over the final six minutes of the game to force a late tie before the game-winning basket.
The Bonnies led for the majority of the evening as the Bulls never held more than a two point advantage, their last one coming with 11:15 left.  A layup by junior Willie Conner gave UB a 22-21 lead, but St. Bonaventure went on an 8-1 run to take a 29-24 lead with 4:29 left.  A late three pointer from Nelson Kaputo, one of just two on the night for St. Bonaventure, gave the Bonnies a 38-33 lead at the break.
St. Bonaventure extended its lead to nine on a number of occasions and continued to lead 58-50 with 6:15 left when the UB defense picked up its game, forcing eight straight stops.  During that defensive stand, UB continued to chip away at the lead.  A fast-break dunk by redshirt freshman Ikenna Smart pulled the Bulls within five and then three straight points by sophomore Lamonte Bearden had UB within a single possession.  Senior Rodell Wigginton hit a pair of free throws with 37 seconds left to tie the game up at 58-58, the first tie since 10:58 of the first half.  However, the Posley layup gave the Bonnies the lead back and a late shot attempt by the Bulls at the buzzer was no good.
