Buffalo and Western Africa don't exactly have much in common, and no one knows that better than UB soccer star Cheick Diarra.Diarra has called both of these places home during his life, which has taken him all over the world.There is no disguising the fact that Buffalo's weather is anything but tropical, so it does seem a little odd that Diarra would come to UB."It was funny, I was playing at the Empire Games and I met a friend that played for UB and he kind of recruited me," said Diarra.
