The sixth seeded Colorado Buffaloes hosted eleventh seeded Washington State in the first round of the 2020 Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Tournament at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Wednesday night. Following the postponement of the 2019-20 NBA season earlier in the day on Wednesday, the Pac-12 announced starting effective Thursday fans will no longer be allowed in the arena due to the spread of Coronavirus. Wednesday’s matchup between the Buffs and Cougars would be the last with fans in attendance.
Washington State, led by sophomore forward CJ Elleby and junior guard Isaac Bonton, crushed the Buffaloes 80-65. The Cougars advance and will take on three seeded Arizona State Thursday night.
