BOULDER — Halfway through the Pac-12 Conference schedule, the Colorado women’s basketball team is sitting right in the middle of the standings, tied for sixth place.
That’s not good enough, coach Linda Lappe said Sunday after her team struggled down the stretch in a 62-54 overtime loss to UCLA at Coors Events Center.
“We just have to figure out that we’re better than average,” Lappe said. “That’s what we talked to our team about, is expecting to be at the top of the league and expecting to be the best.”
Average might have been good enough during the final minutes Sunday, but the Buffs (15-5, 4-5 Pac-12) struggled to even hit that mark.
Too many turnovers, too many missed shots and too many holes on defense allowed UCLA (10-10, 5-4) to steal this one.
