Despite forcing 25 turnovers and getting strong performances from Sumayah Sugapong, who scored the first eight points of the game and hit four three-pointers, Arizona couldn't hold on against Colorado. Noelani Cornfield added six steals for the Wildcats.
The Buffaloes capitalized on Arizona's late-game miscues, leaving Tucson with the victory after the Wildcats' fourth quarter collapse. Arizona had cut Colorado's lead to four points going into the second quarter and trailed by just one at halftime.
