Holding 72-70 edge with 4:42 left in the game, Buffalo junior guard Jeremy Harris caught the ball in the corner on a pass from senior guard Wes Clark and buried a 3-pointer.
The shot sparked Buffalo’s 89-74 victory over Central Michigan in the Mid-American Conference Tournament quarterfinals at Quicken Loans Arena.
“We called a punch play for Perk,” Harris said. “They loaded on him all game, so I was wide open in the corner.
“I was just trying to win, play defense and get out in transition and run. I knew my teammates would find me if I was open.
