Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, March 21, 2004

Colorado couldn't handle the Thunderdome yesterday. The Buffs melted down with one of their worst performances of the year -- eg, not a single field goal in the first 8 minutes of the second half.

The Gauchos ended up winning by almost 30.

"I think the 13 turnovers in the first half were the difference. We just didn't handle their pressure well," CU coach Barry said. "Their crowd got into it and they were playing well."

This was one of the unfair lower-seed-with-home-court games, but home court doesn't get you 30 points. A disappointing end for the Buffs and for Tera Bjorklund's college career.
