Colorado Advances in Big 12 Tournament After Narrow Win Over TCU

The 16th-seeded Buffaloes, riding a rare two-game winning streak, will face eighth-seeded West Virginia next in Kansas City.

Colorado defeated TCU 69-67 in the first round of the Big 12 tournament, marking their second win over the Horned Frogs in four days.
Andrej Jakimovski led Colorado with 18 points, including 16 in the second half, while Julian Hammond III added 16 points.
The Buffaloes capitalized on strong free-throw shooting late in the game, going 18-for-24 from the line, compared to TCU's 10-for-20 performance.
Despite a challenging season with only three Big 12 regular-season wins, Colorado has shown resilience, winning three of its last four games.
West Virginia, Colorado's next opponent, defeated the Buffaloes earlier this season and enters the second round with a rest advantage.
