A loss in the desert didn’t hurt the Colorado women’s basketball team in the national rankings.
Despite a 61-42 loss at Arizona on Sunday, the Buffaloes remained at No. 21 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 rankings that were released on Monday. CU (21-6, 12-4 Pac-12) had a five-game winning streak snapped in Tucson, Ariz., but this is the first time the Buffs have been ranked in three consecutive weeks since a five-week run in November and December of 2016.
The Buffs will look to rebound on Thursday against No. 3-ranked Stanford (25-3, 13-2) at the CU Events Center (3 p.m., Pac-12 Network).
“We’ve got to brush it off right now,” CU guard Tameiya Sadler said after Sunday’s loss. “We can’t really be sad about it. You just have to go in tomorrow and really lock in on Stanford and the next couple of scouts that we have because that’s the next biggest game that we have.”
CU defeated last-place Arizona State, 70-62, on Friday before falling to Arizona on Sunday. The Buffs sputtered a bit throughout both games. After not having 20 turnovers in a game since November, the Buffs had 20 in each of the games this past weekend.
The Buffs are in third place in the Pac-12, one game behind Utah and a game ahead of Arizona. The top four teams will get a first-round bye for next week’s Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas.
