The Cougars are now 3-1 on the season after knocking off Wake Forest and bringing home the consolation title at the Paradise Jam in Lynchburg, Virginia this weekend.
Senior guard Rob Gray made all the difference and led the team to two wins in the tournament over Liberty and Wake Forest. Despite scoring a career-high in points against Drexler, Gray and the Cougars could not defeat the Dragons in the first round. Colorado won the tournament over Mercer on the back of senior guard George King, who scored 25 points in the 79-70 victory.
The Cougars faced Drexler first and lost after a late rally.
