San Diego defense smothers CU Buffaloes

Returning home didn't cure anything that ails the Colorado men's basketball team.

The Buffaloes started cold from the floor Tuesday night and never truly warmed up, suffering an ugly 69-59 defeat against the University of San Diego at the Coors Events Center.

CU (7-3) received a good look at why San Diego entered the week leading the nation in 3-point defensive field goal percentage, as the Buffs were held to a 3-for-18 mark from long range and finished just .259 (14-for-54) overall.

The Buffs led only briefly, taking a 19-18 advantage with 4 minutes, 17 seconds remaining in the first half.
