Buffalo to play host to slice of March Madness

For the fourth time since 2000, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament will bring a piece of March Madness to Buffalo.
HSBC Arena will play host to first- and second-round action on March 19-21. The home of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres holds 19,200 for basketball, and likely will be filled to capacity for the tournament games.
In 2007, the last time the tournament came to Buffalo, Butler and Pittsburgh won both of their games to reach the Sweet 16. Butler knocked off Old Dominion in the first round, setting up a matchup with Maryland, who downed Davidson. Butler then edged the Terrapins to make it through to the regional semifinals.
In the other first-round matchups at Buffalo, Virginia Commonwealth edged Duke in a mild upset, 79-77. Pittsburgh handled Wright State in its opening game, then held off VCU to make it to the Sweet 16.
Pairings for this year’s tournament will be announced on Sunday.
