The Colorado Buffaloes season came to an end Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Their 74-67 loss to UConn came in heartbreaking fashion as the Buffs led by 11 points in the first half and furiously cut a big Huskies lead in the second half to one possession. CU’s comeback fell short, ending big man Josh Scott’s collegiate career.
Here are BSN Denver’s tweets of the game:
