LAS VEGAS — It took the Colorado Buffaloes roughly 30 minutes to find their 3-point shooting eye Tuesday night, but they found it just in time to produce a 71-70 nailbiter of a win over Penn State in the Las Vegas Classic semifinals.
The 11-1 Buffs, winners of 11 straight, will meet No. 18 and unbeaten SMU in Wednesday night’s 8:30 p.m. (MT) final, to be televised by Fox Sports 1.
The Buffs struggled against PSU’s zone defense for much of the night, but stayed in the game with their rebounding and free throw shooting.
