LOS ANGELES – Head coach JR Payne picked up her first win in Westwood with her Colorado Buffaloes securing a 67-54 decision inside the historic Pauly Pavilion on Friday. The win for the Buffs gives Colorado its first regular-season sweep of the Bruins since the 2013-14 season.
The win moves CU to 17-7 on the season and 6-7 in the Pac-12 Conference. The 17 wins match the most for the Buffs since Payne's first season in Boulder. CU jumps into the sixth seed in the Pac-12 standings and now holds the tie-breaker over UCLA (11-9, 6-7 Pac-12) with three games to play.
