LYNCHBURG, Va. — Lost in the celebration of Colorado’s improbable comeback victory Friday night was an alarming statistic that won’t typically lead to many wins.
Even after McKinley Wright’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer against Quinnipiac, Buffaloes men’s basketball coach Tad Boyle expressed frustration at an assists-to-turnover ratio that saw his team record just seven assists against 17 turnovers.
Despite a quick turnaround, Wright and his teammates made quick work in vastly improving that ratio against Drake Saturday night. Sharing the ball better than they have so far in the young season, the Buffs weathered several Drake comeback attempts in the second half to post a 86-81 victory in the semifinals of the Paradise Jam.
CU will play Mercer for the championship Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. MST.
