Buffalo players are certainly confident heading into today’s game vs. Kentucky.
“One strength I think they have is pretty much their size,” Buffalo guard Jeremy Harris said Friday. “They’re a good rebounding team and stuff like that. But I don’t think they can stay with us in transition and stuff like that. They’ve got a lot of big guys, they play a little bit too much, and I think that will play to our favor.”

“I think we match up pretty well with their guards. They’ve got some guards who are pretty good on the ball screen and stuff like that. But I also think they’re lacking on the inside with defending and stuff like that.

Teammate C.J. Massinburg was not quite as blunt but he showed no fear of UK’s Nick Richards or Sacha Killeya-Jones.
“I feel like this game is going to be a little different than last game. Last game we wanted to shoot all the 3s to like kind of expose their 7-footers. But this game I feel like my big guy, Nick Perkins, is going to get a lot inside and dominate and play his game how he’s been playing the whole year,” Massinburg said.
“I think we match up with them pretty good. I mean, they’ve got players on the boards, we know they can play. They’re real good. But they put on their shorts just like we put on our shorts,” Harris said. “Kentucky is a very good team, as we all know. But I think experience should give us just a little bit of an edge. I think the team that plays the hardest is going to come out with the win.”
