Colorado women’s basketball coach JR Payne took some time to sit in front of the media on Monday to talk about a new era of Buffaloes basketball, with the next season just two weeks away from tipping off. Payne made sure, however, to give some props to a former Buff. “I can’t start the day without shouting out recent grad Jaylyn Sherrod, who became a WNBA champ last night,” Payne said after the New York Liberty knocked off the Minnesota Lynx in an epic series that concluded Sunday night.
