Comebacks are a pinnacle of any sport, no matter who is playing. Tonight, the turnaround gods were on Colorado’s side. The University of Colorado women’s basketball team managed a major fourth quarter comeback to defeat the Washington State Cougars, 70-58, in Boulder on Friday night.
A massive 31-point quarter for CU pushed helped the Buffs top their fellow Pac-12 opponent and increase their record to 13-9 overall and 3-8 in conference play.
Head coach JR Payne was thrilled with the team’s performance and their connection as a group.
“The biggest thing that I’m proud of, and the biggest thing that I think that everyone came to watch us play tonight, just saw a tremendous amount of heart and we never gave up we continued to fight.
