After knocking off Arizona State in Tempe, the Buffs dropped the second leg of the road trip with a 78-68 loss to #8 Arizona. It’s been up-and-down year, but it’s to hard a competitive loss against an elite opponent.
If there’s anything positive to take away from this game, it seems that Tad Boyle may have secured his frontcourt. Tristan da Silva is playing well on the road now, scoring 18 tonight and 23 against ASU (ignore the stinker against Utah). Luke O’Brien has added some verve to the starting lineup in place of J’Vonne Hadley, and though he fouled out, he offers a bit more shooting and rebounding.
