The Buffs lost what coach Tad Boyle called a “separation game” on Saturday night, falling 72-62 to the Washington Huskies at Coors Event Center. The Buffaloes, now 12-8 on the year, fall back to .500 in conference play, at 4-4.
“We got out toughed, we got punked, we got manhandled, you name the adjective you want to name, but all those fit,” Boyle said after the game.
CU was thoroughly out-rebounded, as a failure to box out led to 20 second chance points for the Huskies.
Boyle was extremely upset with the rebounding performance, especially considering Washington came in to the game last in the league in rebounding margin.
