The Buffaloes couldn’t hit double-digit points until six minutes remained in the half, while Arizona kept putting salt on the wound. They led by as many as 21 points, 37-16, with two minutes remaining.

By halftime, the Buffaloes cut back the lead to 37-20, but they were still hurting.

But throughout the second half, the Buffaloes scrapped their way back into the game and cut the lead to just two points with just two seconds left, 80-78. But they couldn’t the job done, eventually falling 82-78.
