Twi-lights: CU Buffs knocked out in first round

 

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:

I would have to say that the dominant color in the arena at this point is green.
