CU Buffs fall short of sweet sixteen, but their future's so bright, they've got to wear shades

On Saturday night, the CU Buffs played pretty much the same game as in their previous two wins: a very good first thirty minutes, an iffy last ten.

Nuggets' last game before playoffs: With all the injuries, can Denver just forfeit to Jazz?

Giving credit where credit is due.​J.R.
