Colorado escapes WSU with last second game winner, 58-55

The Colorado Buffaloes defeated the Washington State Cougars on a game-winning three in the final seconds for a 58-55 victory.

WSU (9-12, 4-6 in Pac-12) took a one point lead with 40 seconds to go. After both teams shot a pair of free throws, the game was tied with 25 seconds to go and Colorado (12-9, 4-6) getting the final possession. KJ Simpson rolled off a screen at the top of the arc and fired a three for the lead with just four seconds to go. T.J. Bamba, returning to the court for the first time in three games from a hand injury, couldn’t get the desperation three to fall and the Buffaloes escaped with the victory.
