Buffalo Bulls
The Buffalo Bulls had a tumultuous 2023-24 season, finishing at the bottom of the Mid-American Conference with a 17-15 record. New head coach George Halcovage III faced significant challenges as the team struggled offensively and defensively, ranking poorly in both categories. With star forward Sy Chatman now graduated, Buffalo faces an uphill battle to improve in the upcoming season. Current projections suggest they may once again finish last in the MAC with a 5-13 conference record. Their current statistics show weaknesses in field goal percentage, three-point shooting, and turnovers, among other areas. Defensively, they struggle to limit opponents' shooting percentages and defensive rebounds. It will be a challenging road ahead for Buffalo to turn their performance around in the upcoming season.
