CU Buffs win in OT at South Dakota State in WNIT second round

BROOKINGS, S.D. — Late in the fourth quarter on Sunday, the Colorado women's basketball team handed South Dakota State plenty of opportunities to steal a win.

In overtime, however, it was the Buffaloes making the winning plays.

CU coughed up a 13-point lead in the fourth, but recovered in overtime to knock off the host Jackrabbits 81-75 in the second round of the Women's NIT at Frost Arena.

Sophomore Kennedy Leonard finished with 29 points, eight assists and seven rebounds to lead the Buffs (17-15), who will visit Iowa (19-13) on Thursday in the third round.
