Keeler: Can soaring CU Buffs avoid an Oregon Ducks hangover?
Evan Battey (21) of the Colorado Buffaloes celebrates with the fans on the court after defeating the #4 Oregon Ducks 74-65 at the CU Events Center Jan. 02, 2020. BOULDER — Ain’t the party.
It’s the hangover.
“Coach (Tad Boyle) told us quickly that we’ve got to turn our attention to the Beavers,” McKinley Wright offered just outside the CU locker room, less than a half-hour after his Buffs sent No. 4 Oregon packing, 74-65, before the first sellout crowd at the CU Events Center in four years.
“Oregon State beat us here last year. We can’t let that happen again. It’s simple.”
Also: UCLA 66, at Washington 64.
Good teams know how to turn the screw.
Special ones know how to turn the page.
