Like Friday against Utah, the Cardinal couldn't connect from behind the arc (4 of 17 on 3s Friday and 3 of 15 Sunday night). Like Friday, the Cardinal trailed from the opening tip but mounted a huge second-half comeback -- this time, from 16 points down -- thanks to a swarming defense that limited Colorado to 19 second-half points. But, unlike Friday, it was too little too late. Stanford fell to the Buffs from Boulder, 56-55, and will be left to think about its ongoing first-half woes until Wednesday's game at Oregon State.
Down by one with 37 seconds left, Stanford trusted its defense, chose not to foul, and ultimately forced Josh Scott, CU's bruiser down low, to heave a three with 11 seconds left (This is good).
