The Buffalo Bulls not only beat 4th seeded Arizona on Thursday, they blew them out, winning 89-68, and they will face another powerhouse today, the Kentucky Wildcats. The win on Thursday was no fluke. This Bulls team can play with anybody. In Thursday’s win, they hit 15 of 30 3-pointers and shot 54.8% overall. We all know Kentucky’s track record and this won’t be an easy one for Buffalo. The Wildcats are 2-0-2 ATS in their last 4 NCAA Tournament games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. On the flip side, the Bulls are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 after a straight up win. Neutral court numbers are similar. Buffalo is 5-2 and 6-1 ATS, averaging 82.1 points per game, and allowing an average of 75.3. Kentucky is also 5-2 and 6-1 ATS, averaging 76.0 points per game, and allowing an average of 68.7. If the Bulls’ Wes Clark is on, like he was on Thursday scoring 25 points, don’t be surprised if Buffalo does it again.
