The University of Colorado men’s basketball team came down to the wire in a close game with the University of Oregon Sunday evening, ultimately pulling out a win, 91-87.

After the Denver Broncos’ close AFC Divisional victory Sunday afternoon, fans of Colorado sports could be forgiven if they were hoping for a less nerve-wracking game in CU’s early-evening contest. Instead, the Buffaloes upset Oregon after 15 lead changes and seven ties, and capped a day full of sporting events that were not for the faint of heart.
