Colorado didn’t get the conference tournament title it came here to win, but the Buffaloes proved themselves as one of the Pac-12’s top teams during their Vegas run.
“Disappointed with the outcome of the game,” CU head coach JR Payne said. “Proud of how we battled on the boards. We just had a hard time scoring the ball when we turned it over. Too many turnovers against a team that makes you pay for pretty much every mistake you make, but Stanford’s a great team. I think we’re also a great team. Very competitive game and we just didn’t score the ball the way we needed to.
CU came into the tournament in good position for ending a nine-year NCAA Tournament drought and only strengthened its resume with wins against Washington and 14th-ranked Arizona. CU started the game with great energy and took a 6-2 lead in the first four minutes. In the last four minutes of the first quarter, the lead changed hands five times and Stanford took an 11-10 advantage into the second.
