Milwaukee had no answer for Jeremy Harris and Nick Perkins as No. 21 Buffalo marched to a 96-77 win in the Basketball Hall of Fame Belfast Classic in Ireland on Friday.
Perkins, Harris and CJ Massinburg combined for 11 3-point field goals and 57 points to spark Buffalo to a 6-0 to start the season in the game played in Northern Ireland.
Milwaukee (2-5) was led by Carson Warren-Newsome's 26 points, but shot just 21.4 percent from 3-point range (6 of 28).
Massinburg, the Bulls' top scorer this season, surpassed 200 career 3-pointers. Buffalo made 14 of 33 from beyond the arc.
The Bulls last started 6-0 in 1930. Buffalo on Saturday faces the winner of the Stephen F. Austin-San Francisco game played Friday.
