Watch Buffalo vs. Kentucky March Madness: TV channel, live stream, start time

Buffalo takes on Kentucky in the Second Round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Here’s what you need to know to watch the game on TV and online.

After a First Round full of surprises, Day 1 of the Second Round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament features a team that pulled off the first of one of the biggest First Round upsets. No. 13 Buffalo knocked No. 4 Arizona out of the tournament with a resounding 89-68 victory on Thursday. Will the Bulls manage to pull off another upset and stay alive in the tournament, or will Kentucky end their NCAA Tournament dreams?

No. 5 Kentucky pulled off a 78-73 win against a solid-looking No. 12 Davidson. Kentucky was 0-of-6 from beyond the arc and 26-32 in free throws, which is something they will need to work out before meeting Buffalo on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 19 points and 5 steals, which definitely helped propel the team to victory.

Buffalo dominated Arizona in their First Round match up. Unlike Kentucky, the Bulls had no trouble making their threes, shooting 15-for-30 in three pointers over Arizona’s 2-for-18. It’s hard to say whether Buffalo would have pulled off the win if Arizona had actually played in that game, but it’s safe to say that Buffalo can pull off a win against Kentucky if they continue the same level of play we saw against the Wildcats.

With so many surprises and upsets in the 2018 NCAA Tournament so far, both Kentucky and Buffalo have equal chances of making it to the Sweet 16.
