The spread favored Colorado by 3.5 points, a movement that proved correct as they secured a seven-point victory over Boise State with a final score of 60-53.

The game unfolded as anticipated, with Colorado demonstrating their overall strength and composure on the court.

They maintained their momentum in the second half, ultimately outscoring their opponents 34-29.

Moreover, Colorado capitalized on their opportunities at the free-throw line, further solidifying their advantage. With only six attempts from the charity stripe, Boise State fell short, converting just five of their shots. This discrepancy in free-throw attempts underscored Colorado’s ability to execute under pressure and capitalize on scoring chances.

While Colorado emerged victorious, the game highlighted the importance of careful handicapping. Despite recognizing Colorado’s strength in three-point shooting, overlooking Boise State’s struggles beyond the arc could have led to a different outcome. Nevertheless, Colorado’s overall superiority on the court proved decisive, reaffirming their status as a force to be reckoned with in the tournament.

As the tournament progresses, Colorado will look to build on this hard-fought victory, drawing on their strengths and addressing any areas for improvement. With their sights set on further success, they move forward with confidence, knowing they have what it takes to compete at the highest level.
