BOULDER, Colo. — Torrid defense is helping the Colorado Buffaloes overcome their horrid start.
The Buffaloes walloped Washington State 81-49 on Sunday night for their fifth win in six games thanks to a stifling defense that produced two dozen turnovers which led to 34 points.
“Defensively they were at another level,” Cougars coach Ernie Kent marveled. “This wasn’t the same team we saw in Pullman. You keep looking at their defensive numbers coming down, down, down. Now I know why. They are a very physical team. If they play that way, they are going to cause a lot of problems.
