Impressive come back by the Buffaloes, who erased a 17-point, first-half deficit to win their sixth straight, 78-75.
Really enjoyed watching McKinley Wright play. The Colorado point guard can get to the rim and finish and he made some huge baskets Tuesday, finishing an efficient 6-for-12 from the field. His leaner with 4 1/2 minutes to go in the opening half capped a 12-0 run and got the visitors to within 32-27.
New Mexico still led 43-34 at halftime & by 14 four minutes into the second half, but the Lobos' offense went cold after that and Colorado (8-1) took the lead for good at the 4:33 mark on Wright's driving lay-up.
Tyler Bey led the Buffaloes with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
New Mexico wasted a great night from Anthony Mathis, who was 7-of-10 from three-point range for a game-high 23 points before fouling out with five seconds left.

Games 183-184: Day 1

March 17 at Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, RI

We opened my favorite day of the NCAA Tournament with a "Coach K" count of seven, though just two came after halftime in Duke's 93-85 win in the West Region.
I expected much more from this announcing team & in particular, Chris Webber.
Luckily, Ian Eagle provided the first of what I'm hoping is dozens of ridiculous sentences over the next few weeks:
"Plumlee, the plumber, with the flush!"

Game 62 - Colorado at Stanford
January 3 at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, CA
ESPN
Colorado built a lead as large as 16 points a little over two minutes into the second half, yet had to hang on for a 56-55 win.
The Buffaloes made only three field goals over the final 10 minutes, allowing the hosts to get it to that one-point deficit. But the real story was the Colorado defense, which permitted just 31% from the field.
Great night for post player Michael Humphrey (19 points, 8-of-15 from field), but his Stanford teammates were a combined 9-for-39 (23%).
Also a big night for one of the Pac 12's finest players in Josh Scott (14 points, 14 rebounds), who led Colorado to its fifth consecutive win in the series. The last four have come by the following margins: 1, 5, 3, 2.
