Xpelled: Johnson’s ejection hurts Buffs on the road

CURTAIN OF RECAPTION – The Colorado Buffaloes fell to 0-2 in Pac-12 play with a 78-77 loss in Tempe to the Arizona State Sun Devils. Not even a monster game from Derrick White could inspire CU to beat an underwhelming ASU squad.

Johnson and White were on fire in the first half finishing with a combined 23 points in the period. Outside of those two the rest of the squad was only able to muster up 13 points. This gave the Devils a 41-36 halftime lead, behind a strong team effort.

However, a donnybrook broke out with 1:27 left in the first which expelled both Johnson and ASU’s Jethro Tshisumpa.
