#CUBuffs Sebastian Rancik whistled for a technical foul after missing a tough shot in the post. Must have said something to the ref. UTSA's Simpson misses both FTs.

Okay, I just needed to tweet about it. #CUBuffs go 3-3 FG after this tweet, including a huge Bangot Dak and-one jam (while UTSA went 2-3 FG). CU now leads UTSA 16-13 by the second media TO (1H; 11:15), and BD will have his FT afterward. No ORBs for UTSA since last TO.
