Will Colorado punch a ticket to the Sweet Sixteen?
On Thursday, the Colorado Buffaloes kept the momentum gained from winning the Pac-12 Tournament and ambushed UNLV, ultimately hanging on for a 68-64 victory. The task gets tougher in the third round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament, where the Buffaloes will face third-seeded Baylor.
