The Bulls have a date with the No. 4 seed Arizona Wildcats and ESPN’s No. 3 ranked prospect in the upcoming National Basketball Association draft, Deandre Ayton. “I liked our guard play”.
This was supposed to be a match up between the Kentucky basketball team and the Arizona Wildcats.
When: Thursday, February 22 at 6:40 p.m. Kind of like how everybody was rooting for the Bills to get into the playoffs, how can you not root for this 13-seed to make a run?
Fifteen times already this season, Holder has scored 20 or more points. “We knew we could play with these guys and came out and played hard”. That East Coast toughness.
Syracuse (21-13) had to sweat out Selection Sunday and wound up as the last one to make the bracket, sent to the First Four.
The Bulls are averaging 84.8 points, 39.0 rebounds and 16.9 assists per game.
As incredible as the Arizona upset was, the United Kingdom matchup indeed has particular significance for Clark, who used to play in the SEC. “They score the ball as easily as any team that we’ve played”. Will the Bulls manage to pull off another upset and stay alive in the tournament, or will Kentucky end their NCAA Tournament dreams? Miller said Buffalo does have similarities to the Sun Devils, a team Arizona beat twice this season. Five Kentucky players average at least 9.5 ppg. However, Jim Boeheim and company are in the March Madness action as they take on Arizona State on Wednesday night in Dayton, Ohio. As of Thursday morning, the Wildcats are getting 67 percent of the wagers on this game as a favorite against the Bulls tonight. The Tigers then were paired with Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament victor N.C. Central, another historically black school that was making its second straight appearance in Dayton for a play-in game with a completely new starting lineup. Against other Pac-12 that ended up making the tournament, the Wildcats handled ASU twice and were able to get revenge against the Bruins in an overtime win in the Pac-12 tournament. It’s not even the worst year ever for the Pac-12. “Hard-nosed, tough, swagger, chip on their shoulder … that’s what I see in them”.
The Buffalo Bulls were in a zone, knocking down shots, snaring offensive rebounds, drawing charges. Allonzo Trier missed two games after testing positive for the same banned substance that cost him 19 games a year ago. Arizona State finished with a season low in points. The All-Mid-American Conference first-team guard also takes 1.1 steals a game.
The fourth quarter saw Nebraska shoot desperation shots that fell in but never put pressure on the Sun Devils as the lead was too large.
Dusan Ristic led the way for the Cats offensively with 16 points and 4 rebounds.
