Johnson's Historic Night, Buffs Face Arizona

0:00On March 4, Colorado Buffalo's grabbed the solid win over the Utah Utes on Tuesday night, finishing 92-78. Freshman Guard Isaiah Johnson made history in that game by climbing to second on the program's all-time Freshman scoring list with 400-81 points this season. Johnson has been a standout all year, averaging 16.6 points per game, along with nearly 3 rebounds and assists. He dropped 22 points against Utah and has reached double figures in scoring 27 times, shooting efficiently from everywhere on the floor. Fans and coaches see Johnson as a bright spot amid a rollercoaster season for Colorado, offering real hope for the future with his versatile scoring at all levels. Looking ahead, the buffs wrap up the regular season at home against the Arizona Wildcats who ranked second nationally in rebounding at over 43 per game. Colorado sits much lower at about 35, so forwards like Bangot Deck and guards including Johnson will need to crash the boards hard.

1:04If the buffalos can battle on the glass and keep pressuring the perimeter, they just might pull off an upset to end strong before tournament play.
