It wasn’t pretty, but the Colorado Buffaloes don’t need it to be just yet. With Jabari Walker out for almost all of today’s game, the Buffs did just enough on offense to keep the CSU-Bakersfield Roadrunners at arms length. Tristan Da Silva led a massive defensive effort to lock down CSU-Bakersfield and the Buffs live to fight another day against Kansas.
The first half ended with the Buffs up 24-15, and even that low score belied how slow the first half was. The Buffs held CSU-Bakersfield scoreless for over 8 minutes in the first half and did not capitalize on that defensive effort.
