BOULDER — Colorado's Julian Hammond III hit a layup with 20 seconds remaining Tuesday night to give the Buffaloes a 65-64 win over Seton Hall in a first-round NIT game at the CU Events Center.
Tad Boyle's Buffs improved to 18-16 and will face the winner of Wednesday night's New Mexico-Utah Valley game in the second round.
HOW IT HAPPENED: The Buffs led by as much as nine in the first half and still had a 33-27 edge at the break.
But after an ice-cold first half (8-for-33), the Pirates finally found their shooting eye.
