For the second straight game, the University of Colorado Boulder men’s basketball team unleashed a dominant defensive performance in a 69-53 win over the University of California Irvine Anteaters.
The Anteaters entered the game on a roll offensively by scoring an average of 79 points in their first four games of the season. Proving they were up for the task, the Buffs’ defense held UC Irvine to a season-low 53 points and forced 22 turnovers.
“It makes you feel really good as a coach when your players kind of take that challenge,” head coach Tad Boyle said.
