November 11th 2024.
In a highly anticipated women's basketball game on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at ExtraMile Arena in Boise, Idaho, the Colorado Buffaloes faced off against the Boise State Broncos. Both teams were eager to secure a win, making for an intense and fast-paced game.
However, things did not go as planned for the Buffs as they struggled to score throughout the day. Their shots, especially from beyond the arc, were just not falling, resulting in a disappointing 0-for-17 on 3-pointers. This was a major factor in their loss against the Broncos.
Despite the tough loss, there were some standout performances on both sides. Boise State's Abby Muse may have only scored four points, but she dominated the game with eight rebounds, seven blocks, and three steals. On the other side, CU's Jade Masogayo led all scorers with 13 points and also contributed seven rebounds and a block. Kindyll Wetta of CU also had a solid game with eight points, six rebounds, four assists, and four steals.
Looking ahead, the Buffs are set to face off against Nevada at Lake Tahoe on Tuesday at 8 p.m. MT. But first, let's take a closer look at what happened in this game against Boise State.
From the get-go, it was evident that points were going to be hard to come by for both teams. However, the Buffs seemed to have a particularly tough time getting shots to fall. In fact, for the first time in over four years, they failed to hit a single 3-pointer. This was a major blow to the team, especially considering their impressive streak of 125 consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer. The last time they didn't score from beyond the arc was way back in March 2020 against USC.
Despite their struggles, the Buffs never trailed by more than four points and were determined to stay in the game until the very end. In the closing seconds, they had a chance to tie it up with a quick 3-pointer, but instead opted for a layup from Masogayo, bringing them within one point. Unfortunately, with only 0.9 seconds left on the clock, the Buffs were unable to secure the win.
One of the biggest factors in their loss was their shooting percentage, which was just 33.9% for the day. This was slightly better than Boise State's performance, but the Broncos managed to hit six 3-pointers, giving them an edge over the Buffs.
In addition to the rough shooting, both teams also struggled with turnovers, resulting in a combined total of 49 throughout the game. Masogayo's 13 points were a bright spot for the Buffs, as she finished as the game's highest scorer and also contributed seven rebounds.
It's also worth noting that in their two road games this season, the Buffs have only managed to score one 3-pointer out of 27 attempts. This is a significant drop from the team's usual performance and something they will need to work on moving forward. They were also missing their star shooter, Frida Formann, who has been out with a foot injury for the past three games.
As for individual achievements, Wetta of CU moved up to 11th place on the school's career list for assists, with a total of 347. This was a positive note for the team despite the loss.
In the end, the game finished with a score of 50-47 in favor of Boise State. The Buffs put up a tough fight, but in the end, it just wasn't enough. They will have to regroup and refocus as they prepare for their upcoming game against Nevada.
