BOULDER – Omni Classics aren’t supposed to end like this for the Colorado women’s basketball team, but form wasn’t followed Saturday night by Florida.
The Gators took a healthy Thanksgiving weekend bite out of the Buffaloes, rolling to an impressive 83-61 win in the Omni championship game at the Coors Events Center.
CU (3-2) had won 18 of 27 Omni Classic titles and played in every championship game but three. Meanwhile, Florida (5-1) was making its first appearance in the holiday tournament. But the Gators made themselves at home and methodically turned the night into four quarters of catchup for the Buffs.
