HONOLULU — Beaches and Buffaloes evidently are not a good mix — not, at least, for the Colorado basketball team.
The Buffs lost their second game in as many days Sunday in the Diamond Head Classic, dropping a 70-62 decision in overtime to Hawaii on the Rainbow Warriors' home floor. The loss dropped Colorado to 8-3 while Hawaii improved to 7-5.
The Buffs trailed for much of the game, but finally fought back to regain the lead with just more than eight minutes to play. CU built its cushion to six with under four minutes to go, but a 10-2 run put Hawaii back in the lead, and it took a McKinley Wright IV layup with 16 seconds remaining to tie the game and send it into overtime.
