The CU men’s basketball team endured a frustrating night from 3-point range and struggled to guard Oklahoma State without fouling. The result was a 92-83 defeat in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament on Tuesday at T-Mobile Center. The Buffaloes had won 14 of its previous 15 first-round matchups in conference tournaments under head coach Tad Boyle. Instead, the Buffs will either await a possible NIT bid or face the end of the season. CU used an 11-0 run to build a nine-point lead in the first half, but OSU led 41-40 at halftime. The Cowboys gradually padded their lead throughout the second half, going 4-for-7 on 3-pointers after halftime while finishing with a 29-for-35 mark at the free throw line. CU finished 10-for-29 on 3-pointers and 9-for-16 at the free throw line. Bangot Dak led the Buffs, going 10-for-13 with a career-high tying 22 points and eight rebounds.
