It’s fitting that in this topsy-turvy season of everchanging expectations and growth, the Colorado Buffaloes would end the year with a brutal 78-66 loss to a far better team.
The Texas Longhorns came into this game with a mediocre 18-16 record, but they are supremely talented and would have made the NCAA Tournament if not for injuries and suspensions. It’s frustrating that CU no-showed, but a loss was likely, even considering CU had won 12 of their last 15 games. None of this is to be negative — it’s just that this team still has a lot to improve upon before they take the next step, particularly their focus on the road.
