Buffs beat Drake 100-71 in season opener

On Tuesday night, the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team played host to the Drake Bulldogs at CU Events Center for the 2018-19 season opener.

The game started slow for both teams after two unsuccessful trips down the court. Finally, around two minutes in, Buffs’ sophomore guard/forward Tyler Bey scored the opening basket. Later, junior forward Lucas Siewert shot a three, and the game was 5-0. But the Bulldogs were hot on the Buffs’ heels when senior guard Nick Norton delivered a three.

Norton went on to shoot 60 percent from behind the arc by the end of the game.
