The Colorado Buffaloes (8-3, 1-1 in Pac-12) got their second win in the last three days at the CU Events Center, beating the Milwaukee Panthers (2-7, 1-1 in Horizon league) 65-54. There was a lot of talk about Milwaukee and their top player Patrick Baldwin Jr., but the Buffs were able to limit him to 12 points on 3-13 shooting from the field and 2-10 from three-point range.
Colorado began the game slowly, not scoring for over five minutes. Sophomore guard Luke O’Brien came off the bench and scored nine points. When he entered the game in the first half, O’Brien scored on his first three attempts including a three-pointer which brought the Buffs within one in the early going.
