UPDATE: The Colorado Buffaloes have bounced back decisively, dominating the second half to secure an 88-64 victory over the UTSA Roadrunners at the CU Events Center earlier today. After a tight first half where Colorado led by just 3 points (35-32), the Buffaloes unleashed a powerful offensive performance in the second half, outscoring UTSA significantly.
With the score tied at halftime, Colorado initiated a game-changing 17-2 run, scoring the first nine points of the second half. The Buffaloes showcased their shooting prowess by hitting 62.2% of their shots after the break, while they tightened their defense, holding UTSA to just 33.3% shooting in the second half (12-for-36). This shift propelled Colorado to a decisive win, improving their record to 9-1 for the season.
Point guard Barrington Hargress was the star of the game, pouring in a season-high 23 points on an impressive 9-for-12 shooting performance, including five three-pointers. Meanwhile, Sebastian Rancik contributed significantly, scoring 15 points with 12 of those coming in the second half, along with a team-high 7 rebounds. Not to be overlooked, Bangot Dak also made a solid impact with 10 points, four assists, and two blocked shots.
This victory is particularly important for Colorado, who suffered their first loss of the season just days ago. The Buffaloes’ ability to adjust and dominate in the second half speaks volumes about their resilience and depth as a team.
In contrast, the Roadrunners, now 4-6, struggled to find their rhythm, particularly in the second half. Their leading scorer, Jordan Simpson, managed 20 points but received little support as the team faltered under Colorado’s pressure.
As the Buffaloes look ahead, they will aim to build on this momentum in their upcoming games, demonstrating their potential as a top contender this season. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this victory will shape their trajectory moving forward.
Stay tuned for further updates on the Colorado Buffaloes as they navigate through the season.
