Twi-lights: Clockwork Buffs, CU collapses late

 

 

The Colorado Buffaloes were on a 16-0 run, up 14 with 8 minutes left – that was until Utah went on a 19-0 run to take the lead and eventually win the game on their home floor. The Utes topped the Buffs 57-55 in another heartbreaking road game for CU.

Utah you know that's a baseball font on your jersey, right?

Tre'Shaun Fletcher pulls the #CUBuffs back within one. Fletcher has three of #Buffs' six field-goals so far.

CU 4-8 from 3-point range, 2-19 from 2-point range.

CU has the curse of the bunnies now

— Abbey Shea (@abbeyshea) March 6, 2016

If we get to the half within a bucket playing like this, it's a damn gift

— Benjamin Burrows (@Rumblinbuffalo) March 6, 2016

What just happened.

— Benjamin Burrows (@Rumblinbuffalo) March 6, 2016

What a weird half.

— Corrin (@LovelyCorrin) March 6, 2016

J40 step-back fadeaway (👀) to give the Buffs the lead at the half. 21-20.

You get a 3 & you get a 3

And Dom drains another three for the Buffs. 18 of their 29 points coming from outside the arc.

I'm all for passive aggressiveness directed at poor officiating.

— Justin Faudree (@SmoothsHoops) March 6, 2016

Foul count:
CU: Many
Utah: Not many

— RK (@RyanKoenigsberg) March 6, 2016

THEY CALLED A FOUL ON UTAH! BREAK OUT THE CHAMPAGNE!

— Benjamin Burrows (@Rumblinbuffalo) March 6, 2016

Dom gets the Spencer Dinwiddie 'just B-line to the basket and listen for the whistle' call.

Buffs now +4 on the boards.

— Mateo Martinez (@mateomuhammad) March 6, 2016

They say in Hockey that the most dangerous lead is a two-point lead. For CU, it's a 10+ point lead.

— Benjamin Burrows (@Rumblinbuffalo) March 6, 2016

Utes lead now

— Andrew G. Haubner (@A_G_Haubner) March 6, 2016

Well now the wheels have just completely fallen off.
