Cats top the Buffs on ESPN, 71-57


Foggy the Frog drives in the lane against Colorado
The Cats got a crucial win against the Buffaloes of Colorado on Thursday night on ESPN. The Cats came off an emotional high in the bay area last week, making it extremely important to ride that momentum for the next few games. The only true obstacle in their way was a winnable game against the 3rd place Buffs on ESPN. The Cats went up by 6 at the half, but viewers missed the first five minutes of the second half. By then,the Buffs had gone on a little run and narrowed the margin. The Cats would then take over as Jesse Perry scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half. The Cats are now tied with the Buffs for third place in the PAC 12. They should look to capitalize on this with their next game against the Utah Utes at the McKale on Saturday.
