Colorado Buffs End 13-Game Losing Streak, Defeat UCF 76-63

The Colorado Buffaloes ended their 13-game losing streak with a significant 76-63 victory over Central Florida, marking their first win in Big 12 Conference play this season. Coach Tad Boyle expressed pride in the team's resilience, noting their ability to stick together despite earlier struggles. Andrej Jakimovski led the scoring with 15 points, while Colorado dominated rebounding with a season-high 52 boards, significantly outpacing UCF's 29. Despite the win, concerns linger about the team's 18 turnovers and inconsistent offensive performance. The Buffaloes aim to build on this momentum as they prepare for a challenging matchup against No. 8 Iowa State. This victory serves as a confidence booster, but maintaining focus and improving efficiency will be crucial for future success.
