Amidst the largest Buffs crowd in four years in the CU Events Center, the University of Colorado men’s basketball team kicked off 2020 with a defeat over the No. 4 Oregon Ducks 74-65 on Thursday.
“We needed this one,” said CU junior guard McKinley Wright. “We knew they had never won here so we wanted to keep it that way and we did a really good job at focusing on the game plan and personnel.”
The sold-out crowd of 10,770, the largest since a 2016 matchup against Arizona, stayed electric throughout the match.
“I would just say to anybody who wasn’t at the game tonight, you missed a heck of a game,” Boyle said.
