BOULDER—Pac-12 Conference play did not get off to the start the University of Colorado women's basketball team envisioned. The Buffaloes will look to bounce back from their opening loss to Utah this weekend, playing host to Arizona and Arizona State.

Colorado (10-2, 0-1 Pac-12) ran into a hot-shooting Utah team to close out 2018. The Utes hit 8-for-11 from 3-point range in the first half. Utah entered last week shooting 36.6 percent from 3. They finished well above that, closing with a 61.9 percent performance from behind the arc on Sunday. Andrea Torres came off the bench and was 4-of-7 from long range.
...

Arizona and Arizona State both come to Boulder this weekend with some national attention. The Wildcats are just outside of this week's top-25, while the Sun Devils come in ranked No. 22 in both the Associated Press and the Coaches polls.

The Wildcats defeated the No. 17 Arizona State last week, 51-39. Arizona has been a staunch defensive team thus far. The Cats rank fourth in the NCAA, limiting opponents to just 42.9 points per game.

Friday's game will be streamed on Colorado Live Stream channel. Fans can listen to the Buffs all season long on AM 630 (KHOW).

The Series: This will be the 22nd meeting between the Buffaloes and the Wildcats. Colorado holds the upper-hand with a 16-5 hold on the series. The two teams split the series last season, with each team winning on its home court. Colorado holds a 10-1 record over Arizona at the CU Events Center, including a 2-0 mark under Coach Payne.

Bench Play: Colorado scored 77 points off the bench in its games against Prairie View A&M and Samford to close the non-conference season. Production dropped to just seven points against Utah. The Buffs will hope to improve that number this weekend. Colorado's bench has averaged 19.3 points per game at home this season.

Leonard to be Honored: The team will recognize Kennedy Leonard in a pregame ceremony on Friday. Leonard will be presented a ball commemorating her passing 1,500 career points. She will also be honored for breaking CU's assist record against Utah.

Fans can receive cards and popsicle stick signs to help honor Leonard. There will also be a poster for fans to sign to help congratulate Leonard.

Fans can get $6.15 ticket online in honor of Leonard's 615 career assists. There will also be a $6.15 (credit card only) concession deal.

Disney Night: Enjoy appearances from some of your favorite Disney characters. Elsa, Cinderella and Moana are just a few of the characters that will be roaming the concourse on Friday.

Buffs playing a 1-3-1 zone and AZ countering with a 2-1-2 zone. Need to change our zone to match.
 
Bummer at the buzzer for the Buffs. Down by 2 they get a second chance to tie with 1.8 on the clock. Got the ball to Peanut, but her layup doesn't fall.

They had fought back from a 9 point deficit at the half to earn a lead but couldn't hold it down the stretch. CU now 0-2 in conference while Arizona goes to 2-0.

It wasn't just Peanut's missed lay-up at the buzzer. The Buffs went 0 for 5 from the field for the last 3 minutes or so of the game with their only points coming from Kennedy's 2 for 2 on free throws. They fought so hard to get back from that hole they had dug for themselves with a 25% or so shooting percentage for the first 12 +/- minutes of the game. Needed to finish with the same intensity and focus that they had during the comeback..
 
IMO, unless it's a perfectly played game, the game never truly comes down to a last shot or last free throws. The first half was a nightmare for the Buffs. That is when they lost the game, as well as the drought at the end of the 4th quarter.
 
Didn't see it, so I don't know how much they were down? I do know it takes a lot of energy to come back from deficit. The drought buffgal mentioned above, that's what I mean. Get back in it, and run out of gas. Don't know if that's what happened, but sounds like it.

I believe the largest lead that Arizona had was 14 points that happened sometime during the first half. The Buffs owned the third quarter which is what got them back into it.
 
Watched the last minute + and some other parts of the game. Buffs played with grit, but weren't able to score consistently when they were down at the end of the game.
