Howell: Moral victories carrying Lappe's Buffs

Linda Lappe came away from Saturday feeling pretty good about her team.

Sure, the Colorado women's basketball team came up short against Washington, 76-74, in the Pac-12 opener, but a valiant effort from the Buffaloes prevented this one from getting out of hand.

"The first half was kind of the old team," Lappe said. "I'd like to think the second half is our new team, the team I've been seeing almost every day in practice.

"Now we've got to be able to take this game and move forward and use it and make sure that first half team doesn't come back again.
