The Colorado Buffaloes were eliminated from the Pac-12 Tournament with a semi-final loss to the Washington State Cougars. The Buffs will now head into the NCAA Tournament with a 23-8 record and will probably get a 5- or 6-seed.
This was a disappointing effort for the Buffs. They struggled to overcome the 11th-seeded Oregon State Beavers, then continued their poor offensive performance against the 7th-seeded Cougars. Everyone was off, except Aaronette Vonleh, as the Buffs dug themselves into an early hole by scoring 16 points in the first half.
Colorado remained competitive, mostly because their defense is elite and Vonleh and Jaylyn Sherrod got going in the 3rd quarter.
