Final Score“Real” Score (before garbage time)
UTEP1717
BUFFALO4235

This game hit garbage time at Q4 4:37 — 17+ point lead, 5:00 or less remaining. The “real” score is frozen at the last genuinely competitive moment; it never changes any ranking or projection elsewhere on the site (see the Garbage Time Reality Check page for the full leaderboard).

BUFFALO55.9%55.2%8 / 56

Weighted splits count each garbage-time snap as 35% of a competitive one toward these rates, rather than excluding or fully counting it — see SITUATIONAL LINE above for this game's unweighted numbers.
