What better way for the Colorado Buffaloes to send off their 2022 senior class than to take down the No. 2 ranked team in the country in front of 11,079 Buffs fans, and in dominant fashion no less. It was an emotionally charged affair and as the final buzzer sounded, the court was stormed. CU’s seniors then delivered their speeches bidding Buff nation farewell.
Naturally, fans took to social media to share their reactions to the win, Evan Battey’s final home game and everything else that took place during one of the most memorable evenings in Buffaloes history.
Here are some of the best reactions from fans, alumni, media and more after the historic victory over No. 2 Arizona:

Before Tad Boyle arrived in Boulder there had not been an 11,000+ sellout of the CEC against a team other than Kansas in two decades.

Last night Colorado beat #2 Arizona 79-63!
The Buffs gave Evan Battey the send-off he deserved on Senior Night.
That was fun in itself.
But then we got to meet Evan after watching the kids storm the court. And we met my wife’s favorite member of the CU Dance team.

Incredible. What a way to end Evan’s career. I cried when the fans started to chant we love Battey.

Roz, you raised an amazing young man. Evan wouldn’t be the man he is without Mom!
So blessed to sit next to you for away games over the years and be your friend!♥️
You and Evan will forever be a part of the #CUBuffs 🦬family @CUBuffsMBB @RozzierRozz @EBduece1 pic.twitter.com/7UJMchibDA
