The game was close the whole way and was tied at 44-44 entering the fourth quarter.

Vaselaney and classmate Mac Camardo led all scorers with 17 points for the host Bison (6-5).

BG's Caleb Mayhorn finished with 14 points, which included a pair of 3s along with 6-for-7 at the foul line.

"Both teams executed and performed at a very high level," said Buffalo Grove coach Keith Peterson. "Extremely proud of how our guys battled and kept fighting until the end."

Next up for the Bison is a 10:30 a.m. Wednesday game against Dundee-Crown in Wheeling's Hardwood Classic.
