The Colorado Buffaloes women appeared in their first NCAA Tournament since 2013, earning a #7 seed and a first round matchup against the Creighton Bluejays. The Buffs fought hard and Jaylyn Sherrod was marvelous (27 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists), but they were undone by a hot-shooting opponent in this 84-74 loss.
1st Quarter - Colorado 21, Creighton 17
The Buffs started this game on the front foot. J.R. Payne wants her team to be aggressive, hound the opposing ball handlers and push the tempo off turnovers and misses. That worked early on, especially with Jaylyn Sherrod looking like the player she has the potential to be.
