In what may have been the tightest 18-point win in program history, the Colorado Buffaloes have themselves a signature win and a season sweep of the Pac-12 leading USC Trojans.
The Buffs knew what they had to do in this game. They played with a fiery intensity from the jump and worked so hard on defense and rebounding. Even if this had been a Tad Ball classic rock fight, they would have been difficult to beat.
But in the opening half, after a cold road trip cost them two wins, the Buffs shot the lights out. With Jeriah Horne and D’Shawn Schwartz being aggressive and hitting contested shots, the Buffaloes jumped out to an early 19-8 lead.
