UPDATE: In a commanding performance, freshman Logyn Greer propelled the CU Buffs to a decisive 77-45 victory over Portland State on November 16, 2025, at the CU Events Center in Boulder, Colorado. Greer, showcasing her growing confidence, scored a season-high 19 points and grabbed six rebounds, solidifying her status as a standout player.
This impressive win marks a critical moment for the Buffs, who improved their record to 2-1. The team displayed exceptional defensive prowess, holding Portland State to just 36.4% shooting and forcing a staggering 26 turnovers. The Buffs’ defensive effort resulted in 18 steals, the highest total recorded since November 28, 2023.
The impact of this game cannot be overstated. Coach JR Payne praised Greer’s performance, stating, “Anyone can see Logyn, she’s the type of player she walks in the gym and people say, ‘Who’s that?’ just by the way she looks and moves.” Greer’s evolution as a player is evident; she mentioned, “At the start, I was like a deer in headlights. But now I’m really starting to get into it.”
Greer’s breakout performance included a pivotal third quarter where she scored 10 points, helping the Buffs extend their halftime lead from 14 points to 23 heading into the final quarter. The team’s collective effort was commendable, with several players contributing significantly. Zyanna Walker added eight points along with a team-high five steals and six assists, while Anaelle Dutat notched six points and ten rebounds.
Looking ahead, the Buffs will host Boise State on Tuesday at 7 p.m. (ESPN+), where they will aim to build on this momentum. The upcoming matchup presents an opportunity for further growth and improvement, especially in their defensive game.
Coach Payne noted the importance of player versatility, stating, “We had people playing totally out of position, like playing in a position they’ve never played and had no experience.” This adaptability was crucial in the Buffs’ second-half dominance, out-rebounding the Vikings 29-8 after trailing in the first half.
The recognition of former Buff star point guard Jaylyn Sherrod at halftime added a special touch to the event, as she was honored with a spot on the Wall of Honor for her achievements, including being the first Buff to win a WNBA championship in 2024.
As the Buffs continue to hone their skills, the excitement surrounding Greer and the team’s potential is palpable. With a strong foundation laid, fans are eager to see how this young roster develops throughout the season.
Stay tuned as the CU Buffs prepare for their next challenge, ready to take on Boise State and continue their quest for success.
