Following their loss to the University of Southern California on Jan. 12, the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team faced another loss, 68-54, against the #7 UCLA Bruins at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday, Jan. 14. Colorado is now 11-8 overall and 3-5 in conference play, as well as tied for ninth in the Pac-12 standings.
Though the Buffs played well against the #7 ranked team in the country, their mistakes on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball cost them dearly. Despite being ahead at halftime, the Buffs couldn’t capitalize on what was likely the worst stretch of UCLA’s season and were left in the rearview mirrors once the Bruins got their momentum back.
