The University of Colorado women’s basketball team rematched with the Utah Utes (14-9, 6-6 Pac-12) Sunday afternoon and despite an improved showing, lost 76-68. It was the second straight time the Buffs played Utah, and as was the case in last Thursday’s matchup in Salt Lake City, the Buffs couldn’t find a way to win Sunday in Boulder.
For much of the game, it seemed like quite the opposite would happen. Colorado played strong basketball out of the gate. The Buffs led 16-9 at the end of the first quarter and held the Utes to shooting just 28.
