Colorado entered their final home stretch of the season on Thursday night against conference foe, the Arizona State Sun Devils. Winning their previous five games, CU looked to extend their win streak against a struggling Sun Devils’ team that stood at just 10-16 entering the night, including a 6-10 record through Pac-12 play.
Despite the momentum and an energized home crowd, the Buffaloes struggled on both ends of the court, ultimately falling to Arizona State 82-65, one of the larger losses for the program on the season.
The 17-point loss was just the surface of the Buffs problems against Arizona State, as they were out played in several major statistical categories such as rebounds, turnovers, and points in the paint amongst other things.
