CU women’s basketball player of the game vs. Middle Tennessee: Frida Formann
To say it was raining 3s at Cameron Indoor Stadium would be an understatement. Colorado connected on an NCAA Tournament program-best 13 shots from beyond the arc on Saturday en route to an 82-60 first-round beatdown of Middle Tennessee.
The win marked CU’s first in the Big Dance since 2003.
As you may have guessed, Frida Formann was at the center of Colorado’s dominance from deep, hitting 5-of-8 there as part of a game-high 21 points. The junior from Denmark also added five rebounds and two steals to earn our player of the game.
Formann and the No. 6 seed Buffs will face the winner of No. 14 Iona-No. 3 Duke in the second round on Monday.
