Buffaloes Lose To Arizona In Pac-12 Tournament Semis

LAS VEGAS (CBS4) - The Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team lost to Arizona in the semifinal round of the Pac-12 Conference tournament on Friday night.

Jabari Walker had 19 points in the 82-72 loss at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Buffs set a Pac-12 record with 16 3-pointers, but went 8 for 30 on 2-pointers to miss out on a chance to play in consecutive Pac-12 title games.

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.
