NEW YORK -- Colorado had to rebound from its first loss of the season and the Buffaloes did by rebounding.George King had 12 points and 13 rebounds to lead Colorado to a 68-54 victory over No. 22 Texas on Tuesday in the third-place game of the Legends Classic at Barclays Center.King, who matched his career high for rebounds which he set on Monday, led the big rebounding game for the Buffaloes (4-1), who finished with a 41-32 advantage on the boards including 17-12 on the offensive glass. Colorado scored 18 second-chance points.Huge, Colorado coach Tad Boyle said of his teams rebounding. Thats really where you find out where the toughness comes from. Thats the stat that just shows up. Every game that we have youre either plus or youre minus. Last night Notre Dame outrebounded us. Today we outrebounded Texas by nine and thats a big number. We want plus eight, thats our goal and we hit it.And it was King who led the charge to the boards.George, the second half last night and tonight, he played (like) the light bulb was maybe coming on for him, Boyle said. He was terrific on the boards but I thought our whole team was.Derrick White had 16 points for Colorado, which lost 89-83 to Notre Dame in the semifinals, while Josh Fortune had 11.We needed that one, Boyle said. Its crazy to think in November you feel its a must win but thats how I felt approaching this game today for our team in terms of what it meant for down the road. You come to a place like this, you dont want to go home 0-2.Kerwin Roach Jr. led Texas (3-2) with 16 points and Jarrett Allen had 15.Colorado, despite giving up size on the inside, used offensive rebounding to take a 33-24 halftime lead. Led by King, a 6-foot-6 junior, the Buffaloes were up 16-2 at one point on the offensive glass and Texas had no answer.The Longhorns, who lost to Northwestern 77-58 in the semifinals, used full court pressure to force turnovers and they were within 54-51 with 5:12 left on two free throws by Allen.But Colorado went on an 11-2 run that was capped by -- what else? -- an offensive rebound by Wesley Gordon to match their biggest lead to that points.King said hes concentrating on rebounding.Absolutely. Im long, athletic, he said. Why not use it because Im not going to have it forever.Texas was 3 for 17 from 3-point range while the Buffaloes made 6 of 14 from beyond the arc.I think for our guys, you never want to lose and you never feel good about losing, Texas coach Shaka Smart said. Theyre certainly down. I think anyone in our program is disappointed but Ill tell you what if you cant have a clear mind for what goes into what we need to do next, then youre in the wrong locker room. I think this has gotten our guys attention from the standpoint of some of the things we preach as coaches all the time, which is you have to have a level of humility in your preparation to understand what you have to do to take away what other teams are trying to do.Sometimes experience is the best teacher and unfortunately these two games we experienced here in New York, theyre tough pills to swallow. But if we can learn a lesson from them they can help us as we move forward.BIG PICTURE:Texas: The Longhorns will have to decide on which point guard will run the offense and they will have to work on the inside rotation. After averaging over 80 points a game in their first three, the Longhorns averaged 56 points per game in the tournament.Colorado: The Buffaloes have a deep roster and coach Tad Boyle has kept everyones minutes close with nobody averaging more than 28.5 minutes.POLL IMPLICATIONS:With the two losses in the Legends Classic Texas will almost certainly drop out of the Top 25. The Longhorns can still make a run at being ranked with all the Big 12 games to come.OLD FOES:Texas leads the all-time series with Colorado 14-10. The two were both in the Big 12 until Colorado left for the Pac-12.TURNING IT OVER: Texas had 11 turnovers and just four assists against Colorado. That leaves their assist-to-turnover ratio for the season at 51-56.UP NEXT:Texas: The Longhorns face Texas-Arlington at home on Tuesday and then host Alabama on Dec. 2.Colorado: The Buffaloes head back to Boulder for games with Wofford and Colorado State on Nov. 27 and Nov. 30.USA Soccer Jerseys 2019 . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times.

Spencer Abbott also scored in the shootout for the Marlies (25-13-4).Zharnel Hughes was devastated at seeing his Olympic hopes crushed by a cruciate knee ligament injury.The 20-year-old, the fourth fastest Briton in history over 200 metres, could only clock 21.21 seconds to finish seventh in his heat at the European Championships in Amsterdam on Thursday, looking a shadow of the athlete who ran 20.02 seconds on the way to fifth place at last years World Championships.The Anguilla-born sprinter revealed he had suffered posterior cruciate ligament damage in his right knee in a fall in a race earlier in the season and has been unable to get fit.Im not happy at all, Hughes said. I wanted to make the Olympics, but unfortunately this knee has been getting in my way.

Jenny Meadows, in her last season before retirement, could not make it into the 800m final, coming home sixth in her semifinal in 2:03.13, while Goldie Sayers failed to make the javelin final with a best throw of 53.56m.Its not the way I wanted to finish my international career, Meadows said. I was watching the other girls run away from me and not liking it. But I thought, This is probably the last 50m of the last international race Ill do. So just enjoy it.Sayers admitted she too may now call time on her career. Its been an awful season for me, thats me done for this year and maybe thats it, but I will make that decision, said Sayers, who has undergone knee, hip and elbow surgeries in a gruelling career.Ive really enjoyed my career and have had some amazing moments, but I dont want to be struggling in qualifying rounds in the future. We have London next year [the World Championships], which is a carrot. But that is one day and you have to train for it. ' ' '
