Despite a strong second half showing from the Colorado men’s basketball team on Friday night, the Utah Utes turned Boulder into Heartbreak City, as Lorenzo Bonam sank the game-winning shot with a second left to hand the Buffs their second Pac-12 loss, 56-54.

“This was a heck of a game and it was one by the team that made big plays down the stretch,” head coach Tad Boyle said. “Utah made plays, we didn’t.”

“They made a good play at the end,” senior forward Josh Scott said.
