A 15-2 run by Buffalo over the final two minutes of the first half and the first three minutes of the second half decided the outcome of Kent State’s MAC East battle against the Bulls Friday. Buffalo’s Nick Perkins scored eight of his game-high 29 points over the run, including a three-pointer at the first half buzzer that gave the Bulls a 35-27 lead.
Buffalo went on to win 80-57.
“That was on us,” Kent State coach Rob Senderoff said. “We screwed some stuff up late. When you make mistakes they capitalize. When (Buffalo) smells blood they’re like sharks in the water.
