There could not be a more raucous, bloodthirsty environment for the Buffaloes to play on the road than at Fort Collins against rival Colorado State and the Rams came out fighting in the first half. But, after going down by 13 at halftime, the Buffs battled back to beat down their foes 88-77 for their seventh straight win this season.
In a game ravaged by deficits, one team rose to the challenge while the other floundered under the pressure. After the way CU fought back from a 15-point deficit in its win at Auburn earlier this season, it wasn’t surprising that the Buffaloes won that battle.
