The Colorado Buffaloes will be dancing this March, as the women’s basketball earned a 7-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
J.R. Payne’s team received an at-large bid following a 22-win win and a trip to the Pac-12 semifinals. This is the first trip to the tournament for Payne in her six years as head coach. The team barely missed the field last season, returned everyone including fifth-year senior Mya Hollingshed, and put together their best season since 2013.
The Buffs will face off against the Creighton Bluejays in the first round. Creighton has been somewhat feast or famine, a natural byproduct of their prolific three-point shooting.
