Buffalo shot 61.5 percent (16 of 26) in the first half to take a 43-30 halftime lead against the Chippewas (9-11, 2-5), who shot 34.6 percent (9 of 26) in the opening 20 minutes.

The Bulls, who had a 39-22 advantage on the boards, never led by less than nine points in the second half.

Kyle Randall scored 23 points and Blake Hibbitts 17 to lead Central Michigan.
