Colorado basketball had a chance at a Quad 1 road win against the rival Colorado State Rams, but even a spirited second-half comeback could not close the deal as the Buffaloes fell 91-86.
Tad Boyle’s squad now sits at 8-1 as its lack of defense finally caught up with it, as it allowed 18 3-pointers. Colorado’s offense continued its impressive start, shooting 62% from the field.
