Foul trouble and inconsistency led to a loss against No. 5 UCLA in Los Angeles Wednesday night. A slow start put the game just out of reach as the Buffs were unable to rally back for a win.
Against a talented UCLA team, Colorado couldn’t seem to find the net. The Buffs were just 5-for-21 from the three-point line and shot just under 43 percent on the night compared to the Bruin’s 47 percent.
Foul trouble contributed to the struggles, as leading scorer and senior leader, forward Evan Battey only got 15 minutes of play with four points and two rebounds before fouling out of the game.
