by a final-quarter meltdown at Kansas and the coaching change that
followed, CU constructed its most complete game in nearly two

Field.
In Brian Cabral's debut as
interim head coach, the Buffs snapped a five-game losing streak,
won for the first time in Big 12 Conference play this season (1-5,
4-6 overall) and kept their postseason hope flickering.
"How 'bout them Buffaloes?"

dear friend," bellowed upon entering a very different postgame
press conference.

of these players and coaches . . . they had it in 'em," Cabral
continued. "They never looked back, they're looking forward. All I
want out of this is winning for these seniors and this
team."..MORE
