Pac-12 used to have a good number of Friday night games because they had the traveling partner model & would do a couple Friday/Sunday amongst the majority Thursday/Saturday.

BOULDER – The Colorado Buffaloes snapped their 13-game losing streak Saturday afternoon at home over UCF, taking down the Knights by a score of 76-63 for their first Big 12 Conference win of the season.
With the win, the Buffs move to 10-15 overall and 1-13 in Big 12 play. The UCF Knights fall to 13-12 overall and 4-10 in conference games. The teams split the season series, 1-1.
"I'm happy for these guys, everybody in that locker room, what we've been through over the last month and a half," head coach Tad Boyle said. "Just battling, fighting, and scratching and clawing while just coming up short. And these guys have stuck together. They haven't lost their belief in each other or themselves, which is a testament to them. So it's nice to see them rewarded and really rewarded in a game where we were far from our best."
Andrej Jakimovski led all Colorado scorers with 15 points on 3 for 6 shooting from beyond the arc, along with seven rebounds. Assane Diop contributed a season-high 10 rebounds and six points off the bench for the Buffs.
"I thought his (Jakimovski) defensive effort on (Keyshawn) Hall was terrific," Boyle stated. "He had to work for everything he got, and he really battled him all night."
Hall led UCF with 19 points on 6 for 14 shooting while also grabbing nine rebounds.
The Buffs held the Knights to a 34% (21-61) shooting percentage, while shooting 42% (25-59) from the floor as a unit themselves.
All nine Buffaloes who saw the floor on Saturday logged at least one point in the contest. Eight of the nine scored at least six points.
Colorado was a dominant force on the glass, nabbing a season-high 52 rebounds as a team. Their previous high was 45 rebounds collected in each of the first two games of the season. UCF had just 29 total rebounds in the contest.
DECISIVE MOMENT
A 13-5 run by the Buffs in the first eight minutes of the second half got them a double-digit lead for the first time in the contest, a lead UCF would not be able to catch up with. Ten quick points in the paint and a Jakimovski 3-pointer propelled the second-half offense for Colorado.

Safe to say Lovering is a bitch who never lived up to his potential.
Absolutely zero touch, never put on muscle, never developed his post game, can’t shoot for shut from the line.
