The Buffaloes weren’t going to give up that easily, though. At the beginning of the second quarter they fought back and brought the score to 8-7.
Unfortunately for the Buffaloes, the Cavaliers were just as eager and responded by scoring again each time the Buffaloes made progress. Though the Buffaloes stayed close all throughout the game, they were never able to take the lead. The game ended as a 52-49 loss for the Buffaloes, bringing their overall record for the season to 6-1.
Even though the Buffaloes had their first loss of the season, there was still a lot of good that came out of the night.
