If the women's overtime win at Toledo Monday was a long shot...

Wednesday's quarterfinal game against Buffalo is a long, long, long shot.

The Bulls beat Kent State twice this season by an average of 34 points. Most recent was just a week ago. Buffalo has a 20 RPI, the highest a MAC team has ever had this late in the season.

Its record is 25-4, the best in school history. Three players made the all-MAC second team announced Tuesday.

Kent State's record is 13-18. Monday's game was perhaps the first time all season the Flashes put everything together -- three 20-point scorers, hard defense, few turnovers.

Two days earlier, Kent State had scored just 35 points in losing at Miami.

Is there any chance in the quarterfinals?

KSU played pretty well against Buffalo in the first half last week. Monday's game is certainly a springboard.

But Buffalo is very, very good. The Bulls have more depth and an extra two days of rest.

As I said, a long, long, long shot.
