The Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball team continued their hot start by knocking off the undefeated Utah Utes, 77-67, on Friday night.
The Utes were ranked #8 in the country, but this was hardly an upset for J.R. Payne’s team. The two teams held steady in the first half, then the Buffs hit stride early in the 3rd quarter, building a double-digit lead that held steady through the rest of the game. The turning point was a combination of increased defensive intensity — just look at Jaylyn Sherrod’s usual 5 steals — and selfless offense that created easy looks for Quay Miller and sophomore Aaronette Vonleh (Noah’s little sister).
