LAS VEGAS — There’s no such thing as a sure bet in Sin City, no matter the odds in one’s favor. Even for the Colorado Buffaloes, facing a Washington State team riding a 16-game losing streak, their demolition-style win on Wednesday wasn’t guaranteed.
But here’s an insider tip, one that you can head towards your nearest sports book and cash in right now: Senior Josh Scott will need to reach double-figures on Thursday afternoon against Arizona in the second round of the Pac-12 Tournament, if the Buffaloes hope to beat the Wildcats for the second-straight time.
Using a barrage of double-teams, the Cougars found a way to limit Scott’s effectiveness from the opening minutes, holding him to eight points and five rebounds.
