Why the Buffs lost: A 3-minute stretch midway through the fourth quarter doomed the Buffs. CU went up 57-56 but then had six consecutive turnovers that Louisville turned into a 16-0 run.

Three stars:

1. Louisville’s Tajianna Roberts: She finished with 13 points, two assists and four steals to lead a balanced effort for the Cardinals.

2. CU’s Frida Formann: Scored a game-high 25 points, including a pair of 3-pointers and 7-for-10 from the line.

3. CU’s Kindyll Wetta: Tied her career high with 10 assists, while adding five points and two steals.

Up next: The Buffs will host Tennessee Tech on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the CU Events Center.
