In what may be an inflection point on this season, the Colorado Buffaloes traveled to a difficult rough environment, faced brutal mismatches, and still fought for a convincing 84-73 victory over the UCLA Bruins.
Coming off their dominant 22-point win over Oregon, the Buffs carried over their hot hand. While it was Tyler Bey who carried them past the Ducks, the early scorers tonight were Shane Gatling and D’Shawn Schwartz, two enigmatic scorers who can jumpstart the Buffs whenever they’re on their game. Schwartz’s slashing and Gatling’s gunning got CU off to an early 18-5 lead.
