However, despite thе setback, a sеllout crowd rеflеcts thе buzz around this talеntеd college basketball tеam.

Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball team faced a tough challenge in a home game against the No. 5 UCLA Bruins resulting in a closely contested 76-68 defeat at the CU Events Center on Friday night. However, the matchup drew a record crowd of 11,338 CU fans, marking the first-ever top 5 clash in CU women’s basketball history. This remarkable turnout resulted in the fifth sellout in program history, a feat not achieved in nearly 30 years, with the last sellout recorded in March 1995.

Taking to social media, Coach Payne acknowledged the massive turnout amid the setback, stating, “Disappointed we didn’t win this one, but DANNNNG, BUFF NATION really showed out! Proud of my squad. We COMPETE on 💯! CU SUNDAY!!” Deion Sanders joined in the appreciation, resharing Coach Payne’s post and expressing admiration with a heartfelt message, “We Love u Coach and You are the best in the business. #CoachPrime.”
Despite the defeat, the record-breaking attendance, and the team’s competitive spirit left an indelible mark on the historic night. However, while Deion Sanders’ post-defeat consolation was noteworthy, it is also worth mentioning that Shelomi’s brother Shedeur Sanders was physically present in the stadium to cheer on his little sister’s team.

Shedeur was prominently featured on the big screens during the match. Notably, Sheduer has just landed in Boulder after his long weekend runway campaign in Paris for the Louis Vuitton Men Fall/Winter 2023 collection. And now he has started his football practice session with the CU Buffs football team for 2024. However, Shedeur is a big supporter of his little sister, Shelomi “Bossy” Sanders.
