Buffs Rally Falls Short At UCLA
LOS ANGELES — Colorado's offense went cold in the second half Saturday and a second-half comeback fell just short as the Buffaloes dropped a 65-62 defeat to UCLA at Pauley Pavilion.
The Buffs dropped to 7-3 overall and 1-2 in Pac-12 play while UCLA improved to 7-2, 3-0.
McKinley Wright IV led Colorado with 12 points while Jeriah Horne and Eli Parquet each added 10 for the Buffs. CU shot just 11-for-27 in the second half, including 3-for-13 from 3-point range.
Jaime Jaquez led UCLA with 14 points.
HOW IT HAPPENED: After entering the half tied at 29-29, the Buffs trailed by as many as six at two different junctures in the second half, but each time pulled to within one or two points.
