Behind a sparsely populated but rowdy CU Events Center, the Colorado Buffaloes fought for everything and came away with a hard-earned win over the Dayton Flyers. The 78-73 win was one of those games where so many things went wrong for CU, but they kept working for the win and eventually pulled through.
Against a highly skilled and experienced team in Dayton, it was always going to be a struggle, particularly against a squad that travels well. The Flyers are one of the best 2-point shooting teams in the nation and that manifests in their ability to both create open looks and to finish whatever contested shots they’re forced into.
