The No. 6 Arizona Wildcats delivered a lethal dose of revenge to the Colorado Buffaloes Friday evening at the CU Events Center. Ten months after upsetting then-No. 11 Arizona, the Buffs faltered down the stretch and fell to the Wildcats, 62-59.
Head coach JR Payne’s Buffs have played in just one game this season decided by 10 points or less and their inexperience showed late. With the importance of free throws amplified in the fourth quarter, CU was just 3-of-12 at the stripe in the final 10 minutes.
“We had our chances and we didn’t go out and win that ballgame,” Payne said.
