Women's basketball: CU Buffs aim to fix shooting woes ahead of matchup vs. Nevada

Although Colorado women's basketball coach JR Payne knew she was going to have an almost completely new roster this year, she was encouraged by several qualities the group possessed. One of those top qualities, Payne said, was that the Buffs would be loaded with good 3-point shooters. Three games into the season, however, that hasn't shown up on game days. On Tuesday, the Buffs will take on Nevada in a neutral site game in Lake Tahoe and they'll be trying to get on track beyond the arc. CU went 0 for 17 from 3-point range in Sunday's 50-47 loss at Boise State, snapping a streak of 125 consecutive games with at least one made 3. That was the low point, but the Buffs are just 8 for 47 (17%) overall
