Colorado women's basketball cruised past Southeastern Louisiana in their WBIT first-round matchup Thursday evening. The Buffaloes jumped out to a 12-2 lead and never looked back, taking down the Lady Lions 73-41.
The Buffaloes' defense was imposing, holding SE Louisianan to just 26% from the field and 14% from the 3-point line.
Offensively, Colorado hit their shots at a respectable clip, but the 19 turnovers will be something that head coach JR Payne will want to have cleaned up by the time Sunday's second-round game tips off.
The Buffs used dominant bookend quarters to put away the Lions, closing the game by only allowing five points while holding them to 15.4% shooting.
Lior Garzon led Colorado with 18 points on 6-11 shooting and 2-5 from behind the arc. Jade Masogayo added 15 points of her own, going an efficient 5-6 from the field and knocking down five of her eight free throws. Do it all point guard Kindyll Wetta had a near triple-double with 10 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
The Buffaloes' game wasn't perfect, but it was good enough, especially defensively, to earn them a comfortable win at home.
Colorado will play Gonzaga in the WBIT second round on Sunday, March 23, at 1:00 p.m. MT.
