11/15/2022 10:01:00 PM | Men's Basketball
HARTFORD, Conn. – The University at Buffalo men's basketball team (1-2, 0-0 MAC) dropped their contest against the nationally ranked UConn Huskies (3-0, 0-0 BIG EAST) on Tuesday evening. Bulls lost by a score of 84-64.
After trailing 7-0 early into the contest, the Bulls battled back to make it an 11-10 UConn lead at the under-12 media timeout. Out of the timeout, Zid Powell grabbed a defensive board and made an open layup to give the Bulls a 12-11 lead. In the stretch, Buffalo held UConn to 1 for their last 14 from the floor.
UConn grabbed the lead back after a made free throw to make it 15-14 with 8:16 left in the half. That would be the closest the game would be as the Huskies pulled away. At the half, the Bulls trailed 44-28. Armoni Foster led the team in scoring at the half with nine points.
Buffalo got in foul trouble early in the game and could not recover. Compared to UConn's 13 fouls, the Bulls finished with 23 on the night with two players fouling out. Tristen Newton of UConn punished Buffalo as he finished 14-of-17 from the free throw line. He went on to finish the game with a triple double (22 pts., 10 rbs., 11 assts.).
Kidtrell Blocker and Foster finished the game leading the team with 11 points each. Freshman Isaac Jack had a remarkable game underneath battling UConn's bigs. Jack finished with nine points, three rebounds, and two blocks. He was also perfect on the night as he went 4-for-4 on the floor and 1-1 from the charity stripe.
The Bulls are back in action on Friday at 1 p.m. EST when they take on the Drake Bulldogs in game one of the Paradise Jam at St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
