Tigers lead most of game, lose heartbreaker to No.21 Colorado

Tip is at 11:30 ET on ESPN2. Tigers are going for their 6th straight win after dropping a close one in the opener against the Hokies. The only game they’ve trailed at the half was on Sunday night—by 2 points—and they pulled off one of the biggest comebacks in program history, outscoring TCU 15-0 in the final 8 minutes to win in overtime.

If they can beat Colorado tonight, the Tigers could jump into the rankings! I’ll have play-by-play right here!

Just got home from the airport, and the Tigers got off to a good start with a 3 by Moore, starting for the 2nd straight game. Simms scored the next 4 to give the Tigers a 7-4 lead, which is nice to see after he went scoreless in the first half on Sunday.

Scott jumper pushes the lead to 3! Tigers get a stop to go into the locker room with the lead. They have led at half in every game this season except the last one against TCU.


TIGERS LEAD 36-33 AT THE HALF.

Simms leads all scorers with 14 after going scoreless in the first half on Sunday. Mack leads the team with 16 points per game but has only 4 at the break, so that's good news for the Tigers. The Buffs have scored almost half their points at the free throw line.

Ugh Dawes tries to drive and has the ball stripped with 6 seconds left. Buffs have a chance to put it away at the free throw line. Simms didn't even touch the ball on the possession off the timeout.

And of course Buffs make em both. Dawes misses a 3 at the buzzer.

TIGERS LOSE 71-67.

It's a "good loss" if there is such a thing, but it's still gonna sting for a while. The Tigers trailed for less than 4 minutes of the game, and Colorado made a living at the free throw line, going 24-25. CU loses to the other CU, and it snaps a 5-game win streak for the Tigers. Just a bad last possession there at the end with a chance to tie or win. Gotta find a way to get the ball in the hands of Simms or at least Mack. Still, this team has a lot of potential, considering they are playing without Trapp, Baehre and Hemenway, yet led the No.21 team away from home almost throughout. Great game by Simms, a season-high 23 to lead all scorers, and it was great to see him knock down a couple 3's. They need to start getting consistent scoring from him!
