“Extremely disappointed with our performance,” Tad Boyle the coach of the Colorado Buffaloes said after the game. “We are better than what we played.”

Pittsburgh caused 10 turnovers which led to the 28 point lead in the first half.

As a team Pittsburgh shot 62% from the field and 50% from the 3-pt line.

The second half was just a continuation of the dominance Pittsburgh was displaying from the first half.

Zanne finished the game with 18 points and 5 rebounds.

The Buffaloes attempted to make another run but failed miserably.
