A remarkable season came to a disappointing close on Friday night as the No. 6 seed Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball team fell to the No. 2 Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.
Despite outrebounding Iowa by eight, the Hawkeyes shot 54.5% from the field and were aided by guard Caitlin Clark’s 31 points. Frida Formann led CU with 21 points and Quay Miller overcame a slow start to finish with a 12-point, 14-rebound double-double.
The Buffaloes fought for all 40 minutes but were ultimately undone by a big Iowa run early in the third quarter.
