Facing off against the Pac-12’s surprise team, the Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball team fell to the Washington State Cougars, 76-63 Sunday afternoon at the CU Events Center. Colorado’s defense allowed a season-high 54% shooting effort and dropped to 4-5 overall and 2-4 in the Pac-12. WSU was picked to finish last in the Pac-12’s preseason media poll but is now 4-1 in conference play.
Coming off a 60-50 victory over Washington on Friday, a weekend sweep of the Pac-12’s Washington schools appeared hopeful early on. Sophomore point guard Jaylyn Sherrod nailed a three-pointer and a layup to give CU an 8-4 lead five minutes into the game.
