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.

This year, theyll be looking for some sun. Temperatures throughout May have been unseasonably cool at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and that hasnt changed during race weekend. Fans bundled up against the chill for the public drivers meeting Saturday -- even the drivers appeared to be shivering -- with more cool weather in store for Sunday. The forecast for race day is a high in the upper 60s, according to the National Weather Service, with a 40 per cent chance of rain. But it could be in the upper 50s when the green flag waves to start the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing," a huge departure from a year ago when most of the 235,000-plus fans were sweating things out. The temperature hit 91 degrees when Dario Franchitti crossed the finish line, just one degree shy of the race-day record of 92 set in 1937. It was also 91 on race day in 1919 and 1953. Many drivers believe the weather this year will produce more speed, but its unclear whether it will benefit Honda engines or Chevrolets -- or maybe just make everyone faster. "I think cooler temperatures and lower humidity definitely helps the engines in general," said James Hinchcliffe, whose Andretti Autosport team has been fast all month with Chevrolet power. Defending series champion Ryaan Hunter-Reay said that the cars handled differently on Carb Day on Friday, when drivers had their final practice, than they did during warmer qualifying days.dddddddddddd Franchitti said that the colder temperatures might also produce a more competitive race. "The way this car drafts, the big bulky bodywork, that also lends itself to close racing," the defending race-winner said. "The cold temperatures might help, as well." The only time it hasnt cracked 60 degrees on race day happened in 1992, when Al Unser Jr. held off Scott Goodyear by 0.043 seconds for the closest finish in Indianapolis 500 history. Rain has also played a role in several Indy 500s. Though the chance of precipitation is slim for the start of Sundays race, its expected to increase as the day wears on. Pole sitter Ed Carpenter said the cooler temperatures are a relief to drivers in part because of the heavy fire suits that they wear. When the mercury rises, so does the temperature in the cars, and those fire suits become hot, bulky and often soaked-through with sweat. "Mentally, it gets hard over 500 miles, especially if its a hot day," he said. "It looks like its going to be cool, but mentally this place will wear you down. Theres not much margin for error at this race track. One mistake can end your day." ' ' '
