The Colorado Buffaloes (22-9) were defeated by the Creighton Blue Jays (21-9) in the first round of the NCAA tournament, bringing fifth-year forward Mya Hollingshed’s hall-of-fame-potential career to a close. After the Buff’s returned to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2013, Head Coach J.R. Payne noted how this was not the outcome they wished for after the 84-74 loss.
“We’re not defined by one game,” Payne said. “Even though the outcome of this game was very disappointing and we wanted to win and believed we could win, we wanted a chance to play Sunday and continue to keep going.
