FORT COLLINS — Just when it looked like Colorado State had completed a second-half comeback to send its game against Nevada to overtime, the Wolf Pack made sure extra time would not be needed. Isaiah Stevens drained a jumper to tie the game at 74 with 2.8 seconds remaining, but the Wolf Pack banked in a half-court 3-pointer at the buzzer to claim a 77-74 victory Tuesday night at Moby Arena. It was CSU’s first Mountain West conference loss at home and just its second loss at home this season. It was also CSU’s third straight loss overall on the…

Had the Colorado men’s basketball team simply finished a job that practically was done already seven weeks ago at California, the Buffaloes’ March margin for error might be a little more favorable. The loss in the final Pac-12 visit to Berkeley, Calif., on Jan. 10 wasn’t the only near-miss on the road that has stung the Buffs. Yet it was easily the most exasperating as CU wasted a 20-point lead in a four-point defeat. With CU chasing more secure footing in the NCAA Tournament picture, it will attempt to make amends against the Golden Bears when the final homestand of…

How much it might matter if these teams meet during the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs is debatable, but the Colorado Avalanche has now played three of its best games of the season against the Dallas Stars. Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist to help the Avalanche cruise past the Stars in a critical contest for the home team Tuesday night inside Ball Arena. Andrew Cogliano also had a goal and an assist, while Alexandar Georgiev outplayed his Dallas counterpart Jake Oettinger in a 5-1 victory. “Lots to like,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said. “We were committed to our…

Colorado’s Frida Formann drives to the hoop against UCLA at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles on Monday, Feb. 26, 2024. (University of Colorado Athletics) Heading into the final week of the regular season, the picture of the Pac-12 standings in women’s basketball isn’t clear. But for the Colorado Buffaloes, it is. The crystal clear task in front of the Buffs this week is this: Just win. There’s no need for the 13th-ranked Buffs (20-7, 10-6 Pac-12) to worry about postseason seeding after they were dealt their fourth straight loss on Monday night in Los Angeles, 53-45 against No. 8 UCLA.…

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley told Colorado voters at a rally Tuesday that this year’s presidential election is about getting the country “back on track” — from securing the border and focusing on the basics in education to preventing wars. The Republican hopeful characterized herself as the best chance to do that during her afternoon campaign stop in Centennial, ahead of the state’s March 5 primary. “We can either go with more of the same or we can go with something new,” Haley said. “More of the same is not just Joe Biden. More of the same is also…

INDIANAPOLIS — Even though the NFL’s salary cap skyrocketed, the Broncos are not expecting to be big spenders this offseason. Denver general manager George Paton reiterated that point Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine, saying the team won’t be as aggressive in free agency as it was last year. “We’re going to be strategic,” Paton said. “… We have flexibility, but we are just going to be more measured.” The league announced last week that the cap for the new league year will be $255.4 million — a $30.9 million increase from last year. According to Over the Cap, Denver…

Wendy’s is looking to test having the prices of its menu items fluctuate throughout the day based on demand, implementing a strategy that has already taken hold with ride-sharing companies and ticket sellers. During a conference call earlier this month, Wendy’s CEO Kirk Tanner said that the Dublin, Ohio-based burger chain will start testing dynamic pricing, also known as surge pricing, as early as next year. “Beginning as early as 2025, we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing and daypart offerings, along with AI-enabled menu changes and suggestive selling,” he said. “As we continue to show the…
