Buffs overcome 17-point first half deficit to stun Lobos in thriller

As much as it seemed like everything was going the Buffs way during the past five games, tonight it felt like they were snakebite. CU couldn’t buy a break in a game where they were fighting from behind most of the way.

But in stark contrast to MacIntyre’s football squad less than a month ago, their never-say-never attitude and toughness made it feel like this team had a comeback in them. Tad Boyle’s Buffaloes persevered through the storm, overcame adversity, and found a way to win a game in which they trailed by as much as 17. Just as good teams do, CU stuck around all night and ultimately stole a win in Albuequerque to earn their sixth straight victory.
