Josh Fortune, XJ play key roles in CU Buffs rally

LAS VEGAS — Derrick White did the bulk of the damage in the biggest postseason comeback in Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball history.

Yet he hardly was the only senior who got in on the fun during the second half.

Xavier Johnson and Josh Fortune also made critical plays for the Buffs, who erased a 19-point first-half deficit and a 14-point halftime disadvantage to defeat Washington State 73-63 Wednesday in the first round of the Pac-12 Conference tournament.

"We just knew it was a must-win to move on. It was either win or go home," Johnson said.
