BOULDER – The game was listless, lifeless and lethargic, but the Colorado Buffaloes did beat the Seattle Redhawks 67-55 to open the Legends Classic.
The Buffs won the game based on talent and their principles. Of course, the Buffaloes could overpower the Redhawks in size and strength but if it wasn’t for defense and rebounding, the team would’ve lost to an inferior opponent.
“That was the mention of winning ugly right there,” Tad Boyle touted postgame. “We were not every good offensively on a lot of different levels. But to figure out a way to win on a night when you’re not functioning offensively this early in the season is a testament to our guys’ toughness and our defense and rebounding which is why we always emphasize it.
