Coming into Wednesday night’s game against No. 9 Arizona, the University of Colorado men’s basketball team desperately needed a marquee win to guarantee a tournament bid. And after a thrilling game in Boulder thanks to a monster performance from senior forward Josh Scott, the Buffaloes got it, defeating Arizona 75-72.

“If you didn’t come to watch this game tonight and you had the opportunity to, you missed a hell of a college basketball game,” head coach Tad Boyle said.
