BERKELEY, Calif. — Two major obstacles haunted the University of Colorado’s Pac-12 focus Friday night against No. 21 California. Head coach Linda Lappe’s squad followed its defensive instincts, but inconsistent shooting and high turnovers led to a 64-35 loss for the Buffs on Pete Newell Court.
CU, playing without senior scoring leader Jamee Swan, who missed the game with a back injury, ran into offensive trouble mid-game, as the Buffs (5-9, 0-3 Pac-12) went 19 minutes without registering a point, and ultimately put CU in too much of a hole to put together a comeback and earn their first conference win.
