Colorado women's basketball coach Linda Lappe has been waiting all season for something to click with her team.
On Saturday, it appeared that something sparked her squad.
A dismal start was too much to overcome, though.
Colorado rallied from a 20-point deficit, but fell short in a 76-74 loss to Washington in the Pac-12 opener at Coors Events Center.
Down two, CU has possession with 13.5 seconds to play and got a great look at a 3-pointer by Alexis Robinson and a put-back from Jamee Swan, but both shots were off the mark, as the Buffaloes dropped to 1-4 in Pac-12 openers.
