Colorado men’s basketball kicked off the New Year right with a win over UCLA at the Coors Events Center last night. The game was filled with exciting action. There were some great moments to photograph including Xavier Johnson’s emotional reaction after a game changing dunk got the Buffs rolling at the end of the game. I even experimented with some motion blur shots. One came out very well. I used a shutter speed of 1/30 of a second and panned with the action to capture a player driving past a defender. It looks like COlorado will be playing a lot of close, low scoring games this year. I’m looking forward to the 2015 Pac-12 season.
