An 80-62 stampede from the University of Buffalo showed the Reilly Center why they are currently ranked 17 in the nation.
Led by their veteran guards Jeremey Harris, Jayvon Graves, and CJ Massinburg, who together combined for a total of 51 of their 80 points. They shot 17-34 from the field as they would help the Bulls shoot 45% from the field.
Head coach of the Bonnies Mark Schmidt gave all the credit to Buffalo as he explains why the Bulls were able to have a 22 point lead at halftime and why they were able to shoot 50% from the field.
“They put us on our heels and I thought our guys came out tentative,” Schmidt said. “We struggled offensively in the first half getting good shots, taking care of the basketball and they made us pay for it.”
The Bonnies would shoot 39% from the field, 22% from three. The Bonnies only shot two free throws in the first half.
Coming out of the locker room in the second half, the Bonnies showed some fight cutting the lead to 12. Schmidt spoke about how his team fought in the second half and how they cut the lead.
“We didn’t get out to a great start second half, but our guys fought back and didn’t give in,” Schmidt said. “The good thing about our team is that we didn’t give in and we could’ve folded and us not given in is a good sign.”
After this loss the Bonnies will be having a week off until they travel to Vermont on Dec 18.
