The Kentucky Wildcats left quite an impression on Buffalo earlier this season.
Buffalo forward Xavier Ford said Thursday that “luck” is any team’s best chance at beating Kentucky. Ford even compared the Wildcats to the Monstars from the “Space Jam” movie.
Check out his comments:
“Seen ‘Space Jam?’ It’s like playing against the Monstars,” Ford joked at a press conference.
The movie “Space Jam” came out in 1996, before today’s college freshmen were born, and starred Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny in a battle to save cartoons from being enslaved on an alien planet. To win their freedom, the basketball legend had to help beat the Monstars, a team of puny cartoons that suddenly became formidable when they stole the powers of then-NBA stars Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley and Muggsy Bogues.
