In last place in the conference standings, the Colorado Buffaloes (who actually looked competitive) playing under assistant head coach Steve McClain have lost both tournament games in Hawaii at the Maui Invitational. In their first game verses Gonzaga the Buffs entered the final minute down one point. They went on to lose by six.
In their second game the opponent was an Arizona team who had been struggling to find their stride. Colorado managed to get the game into overtime after being down by eight with under a minute to play. After taking a brief lead in the overtime period the Buffs lost another close one and earned the right to play host team Chaminade in their final game of the tournament.
Colorado has been picked by some to finish in the upper half of the Big XII this season. They'll have to learn to win the close ones if they hope to compete in the league and make it to the NCAA tournament this season.
