Buffaloes Lose To Arizona In Pac-12 Tournament Semis

The Wildcats were the No. 1 seed in the tournament and CU was the No. 4 seed.
Colorado was the Pac-12's best 3-point shooting team during the regular season and upped its pace in the Pac-12 semifinals. The Buffaloes just weren't good enough inside the arc and now have to hope their resume is good enough to earn an NCAA Tournament bid.
The team has a record of 21-11 and could have some anxious moments on Selection Sunday as it awaits its postseason fate.
