Colorado looked to improve its Pac-12 record after an impressive win Thursday against #4 Oregon. Unfortunately for the Buffs, it couldn’t handle the pressure down the stretch and fell to the Beavers, 76-68. A switch to a 1-3-1 zone in the final five minutes by the Beavers proved to be the Buffs’ downfall. Colorado scored only 2 points in the time frame and watched helplessly as their 10 point lead evaporated. Colorado will look to get back on the winning track against Utah next Sunday.
