BOULDER -- The University of Colorado athletic department landed three student-athletes on the Pac-12 Winter Academic Honor Roll, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon.

Men's and women's basketball, along with swimming, are represented on the list.

BOULDER - CU's women's basketball team had been oh-so-close several times earlier in the season to beating ranked teams. The Buffs took No. 6 Stanford to overtime on the road and fell on a near-halfcourt buzzer-beater to the Cardinal in Boulder. They nearly overcame a 25-point deficit in a three-point loss to No. 8 UCLA. And they surrendered a six-point, fourth-quarter lead to No. 21 Arizona State just two days before No. 11 Arizona visited the CU Events Center on Feb. 23.
