Colorado falls short to Longhorns, 68-55, in NIT quarterfinals

The Colorado Buffaloes’ basketball season is officially over.

After reaching the NIT quarterfinals, the Buffs fell short to the Texas Longhorns on the road in Austin, by a score of 68-55. The Longhorns now proceed to Madison Square Garden in New York City for the tournament’s final four, and the Buffaloes will head back to Boulder.

The game did not start well for Colorado, as Texas built up a nine-point lead just over six minutes into the contest. But as the game settled in, CU gained some momentum and pulled the game within one, 14-13, at the 10 minute mark of the first half.
