B-Zone College Basketball Update

On Tuesday, Syracuse and Buffalo were in action

Tuesday Games

Seton Hall 90, #10 Syracuse 68- This definitely goes down as one of the most surprising scores of the year despite Syracuse entering the contest on a 2-game losing streak. Seton Hall entered Tuesday's matchup vs. Syracuse 8-12 overall and just smacked around the Orangemen. Seton Hall shot 54.1% from the field compared to Syracuse shooting only 36.1% from the field. Jeremy Hazell had a monster game for the Pirates with 28 points and 9 rebounds. For Syracuse, Rick Jackson had his usual double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

With the loss, Syracuse falls to 18-3 (5-3) and next plays January 29th at Marquette.

Buffalo 79, Western Michigan 68- Buffalo entered this MAC contest tied for 1st place in the MAC East with people wondering if they were for real. One of the steps in order to gain respect from the rest of the league is to win big games on the road. And that is what UB did as they took down the 2nd best team in the MAC West. Zach Filzen had another good game scoring 19 points as UB shot 56.3% from the field.

With the win, Buffalo moves to 12-6 (4-2) and next plays January 29th vs. Northern Illinois.
