This was simply a night of upsets, and this certainly counts as one on paper. Buffalo earned just their third win of the year thanks to a barrage of free throws: they made 25 of 34 compared to Northern Illinois who could only muster 13 total attempts, making eight.
UB freshman Mackenzie Loesing had 20 points, her second career 20-point game, and Kristen Sharkey contributed 17 points and seven rebounds. For NIU, Amanda Corral was their lone double-figure scorer with 18 points.
