After their opening night win against UC Riverside on Nov. 7, the Colorado men’s basketball team lost their second game of the season, 74-83, to the Grambling State Tigers on Friday, Nov. 11. Following this first loss on the road, the Buffs now fall to 1-1. With a combination of lackluster offense and a shoddy defensive effort, Colorado couldn’t make much of anything work on Friday night.
This weekend, the Buffs traveled down to Louisiana for the first ever Pac-12/SWAC Legacy series, featuring teams from both the Pacific Athletic and Southwestern Athletic Conferences. Though Grambling State was not predicted to be one of the Buffs’ toughest challenges of the season, Colorado struggled for the entire 40-minute game.
