Buffalo is a great NCAA tournament story. The 13th-seeded Bulls stunned Arizona in the first round and have given five-star-laden Kentucky a real fight in the first half on Saturday.
Kentucky’s Hamidou Diallo put multiple Buffalo players on the same poster and dunked on both of them at once
Look at this disrespect.
But Kentucky has a type of athlete that Buffalo just doesn’t have:
That’s Hamidou Diallo — who’s technically a guard and is only 6’5 — creating a two-person poster on the same put-back dunk. My heart goes out to the Bulls’ Nick Perkins and Dontay Caruthers, who didn’t deserve to have this happen to them. Perkins is a listed 6’8 and probably won’t enjoy this highlight of a shorter guy throwing down on him. But Kentucky’s players simply have much higher vertical leaps than Buffalo’s players.
Diallo is a former five-star recruit, playing his freshman season after technically redshirting last year. He’s going to be in the NBA at some point sooner than later, whether that’s in 2018 or 2019. That’s a brief preview of the kind of athleticism he’ll bring to the league.
