Well, that one stunk. Even after Colorado took an early 6-0 lead, tonight had a different feel to it. It was as if Washington had such a bad record that they were destined to upset the Buffs. Of course, destiny was fulfilled in the Buffs’ 84-80 loss to the Huskies on Wednesday night. Washington – who was shooting just 29.3%…...

BOULDER — Almost one year ago, the Colorado Buffaloes picked up arguably their keynote victory of the season. On January 2, 2020—before the year became what it was—the No. 4 Oregon Ducks came into Boulder. In a packed CU Events Center, fans stormed the court after the final buzzer sounded. This season, things will look a bit different. There will…...

It was a fist-fight, blood-bath, gut-check of a battle for the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday night. Really, insert any other way to describe a sloppy and physical basketball game.
