In the second round of the 2021 Women’s National Invitational Tournament on Saturday, the University of Colorado women’s basketball team stayed hot and knocked off the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 75-71. Just eight teams remain as the Buffaloes look to reach the WNIT semifinals for the first time since 2008.
Head coach JR Payne’s Buffs made six-of-eight free throw attempts in the final minute to seal the win at the My Town Movers Fieldhouse in Collierville, Tennessee.
“We certainly made it interesting down the stretch,” Payne said. “I told the team that they made a lot of people in Boulder very happy down the stretch of the game because I know this game means a lot to a lot of Buffs, old and young.
