For the second straight season, head coach JR Payne and the Colorado Buffaloes are headed to the NCAA women’s basketball tournament Sweet 16.
The fifth-seeded Buffs punched their ticket to Albany by upsetting the fourth-seeded Kansas State Wildcats on their home court Sunday afternoon, 63-50.
Colorado backup point guard Tameiya Sadler played hero in front of a sold-out Bramlage Coliseum crowd, scoring 10 critical points in the second half. Fellow veteran Maddie Nolan also came up clutch early with three huge 3-pointers.
The Buffs will face either West Virginia or Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes in the Sweet 16 later this week.
