After coming off 10 straight wins, the Colorado Buffaloes entered the third leg of the Las Vegas Classic with the high hopes of extending their streak to 11. After a hard-fought, heart-stopping matchup, they walked away with a narrow 71-70 victory over Penn State
Throughout the entire first half, the Buffaloes never led but stayed right with the Nittany Lions. A quarter of a minute into the second, that all changed when they got on top for the first time.
