LAS VEGAS — Colorado started fast Friday night but couldn't sustain the momentum after halftime, and the Buffaloes dropped a 66-61 decision to Washington in their Pac-12 tournament semifinal at T-Mobile Arena.
The fifth-seeded Buffs fell to 21-12 with the loss and will now wait for Sunday's postseason tournament pairings to be announced. The top-seeded Huskies improved to 26-7 to advance to Saturday night's tourney final while also improving their NCAA Tournament at-large prospects should they not win the tournament title.
Tyler Bey led CU with 22 points and 16 rebounds, but he was the only Buff in double figures.
