CU’s big matchup against NC State in the Paradise Jam Championship tipped off at 11AM Mountain Time, and the Buffs certainly played like it, coming out slow and falling too far behind to recover in their first loss of the season. The Wolfpack cruised to a 78-60 win, sending the #3 Buffs to 6-1 on the year.
Early shots just weren’t falling on Saturday afternoon, and the Buffs found themselves down 22-6 after a first quarter which saw them go 2-12 from the field. Jaylyn Sherrod – who had a team-high 20 points and was one of only two Buffs who scored double digits – scored four of those six points.
