Overview

  • Coach Tad Boyle overhauled the lineup, starting four true freshmen alongside point guard Barrington Hargress.
  • Colorado held TCU to 61 points on 33.3% shooting, its stingiest defensive showing of the Big 12 slate and a season-low opponent point total.
  • A 12-0 run late in the first half built a 38-25 halftime lead that the Buffaloes carried to a comfortable finish.
  • Sebastian Rancik came off the bench for the first time this season and posted 17 points, six rebounds and three assists as five Buffaloes scored in double figures.
  • The win moved Colorado to 13-9 overall and 3-6 in the Big 12, with a visit to Baylor next before hosting Arizona State after Boyle labeled the week the biggest of the season.
