Colorado forward Andrej Jakimovski looks to make a move during the Buffaloes’ game against Harvard on Sunday in Boulder. 1. Andrej Jakimovski: The graduate transfer led all scorers with 20 points and shared CU’s rebounding lead with seven.
The blueprint early was following the format from the bulk of the first three games for the Colorado men’s basketball team. Overcoming an early flurry of turnovers and a hot start from long range by visiting Harvard, the Buffs posted an 88-66 win on Sunday at the CU Events Center. “We did a much better job in the second half,” CU head coach Tad Boyle said. “Much better job taking care of the ball. They only made two 3s in the second half. Did a better job of guarding the 3-point line. We felt like at halftime that’s the only way they can get back into the game, is if we continue to turn it over, and then they made a bunch of 3s like they made in the first half. That allowed them to hang around longer than they should have.
The Buffs committed six turnovers within the first 10 minutes, setting a pace for their second 20-turnover game in four outings. Instead, CU committed only three more the remainder of the first half, then recorded only two in the first 14:49 of the second half before suffering a couple late giveaways with the game well out of reach.
The Buffs topped the 50% mark from the floor for a second consecutive game, finishing at .518, and went 9-for-19 on 3-pointers. CU continued a solid opening run on the boards, outrebounding Harvard 43-30. Yet the Buffs know that following a week of practice, they no longer will hold an automatic physical advantage once they line up against the elite competition in store in Maui.
