TUCSON, Ariz. — Colorado's offense went cold in the second half Monday as the Buffaloes dropped an 88-74 decision to Arizona in their Pac-12 opener.
CU fell to 6-2 overall (0-1 Pac-12) while Arizona improved to 7-1, 1-1.
Tad Boyle's Buffs led, 44-42, with just two minutes left in the first half, only to see the Wildcats close with an 8-0 run for a 50-44 halftime lead. CU cut the deficit back to three early in the second half before Arizona used a 10-2 run to take control and the Buffs could never climb back into striking range.
