It was a masterful performance by Derrick White that nonetheless was wasted.
Colorado's senior guard turned in another memorable performance last Thursday night against Utah, filling up the stat sheet while providing one of the highlights of the Buffaloes' season with a thrilling dunk early in the first half.
Yet as has happened too often for the Buffs this season, a commendable personal performance was overshadowed by a team-wide disappointment, as White's highlight show was obscured by an 86-81 defeat for the Buffs.
White finished with a game-high 31 points, becoming the first CU player to post two 30-point games in the same season since Askia Booker two years ago.
