This one stings.
The No. 8 Colorado women’s basketball team began a three-game road trip at No. 22 Utah on Friday and despite engineering an impressive second-half comeback, the Buffs watched Dasia Young nail a buzzer-beating layup to secure a 77-76 win for the Utes.
Utah led by as many as 18 points, controlling the first three quarters as Colorado struggled to hit shots. Down by 12 and entering the fourth quarter, the Buffs cranked up the pressure and took their first lead of the game with 19 seconds to play. After Utah regained the lead, CU’s Aaronette Vonleh gave the Buffs another one-point lead on a layup, but Young responded with a layup of her own at the buzzer.
