Colorado 57, Utah 77 Post-game notes

December 23, 2003 | Men's Basketball

-- With the loss...Colorado sustained their first loss at the Coors Events Center in 16 tries.  The last time the Buffs walked off their home court with a loss was against Georgia on Dec. 3, 2002 when Jonas Hayes hit a desperation three-pointer with 00.2 left on the clock to help Georgia win 71-70.  Colorado is now 19-16 against Utah since the two teams first met back in 1913.  Against Mountain West Conference teams, Colorado leads 180-102 all-time. 

-- At the 6:57 mark of the first half, David Harrison recorded his third block of the game when he swatted Justin Hawkins' shot, breaking Ted Allen's (1991-95) career blocked shots record of 161.  He now has 162 for his career.  Other Harrison Notables: Nine made free throws is a season-high. His 10-15 from the free throw line is his best effort there this season when he shoots more than 10 and his best percentage since he shot 9-12 from the charity stripe against Penn on Jan. 4, 2003.  Five rebounds is a season-low and his lowest since his five boards against Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship last season.

-- Lamar Harris, who has been averaging 4.3 ppg games this season, scored eight out of Colorado's 11 points in the first 4:11 of the game, including the first six points of the game; the eight points in the first 4:11 matched his season-high against Cal-Poly.  Before being replaced by Chris Copeland around the 14-minute mark of the first half, his stats were 8 points, 4-of-5 from the field, four rebounds, two steals.  Other Harris Notables:  11 points is a season-high and three steals ties a career high

-- After going 1-5 in the first half from the free throw line, Colorado turned around and made 16-18 in the second half.

-- Colorado made only two field goals during the first 12:11 of the second half before Glean Eddy knocked down a trey at 7:49. 

-- As low as 19 field goals for a game sounds, Colorado only made 18 of them against Oklahoma 10 games ago during the Big 12 Tournament and made 19 twice last season

-- For the first time in 13 games, Blair Wilson did not connect on a three-pointer.

-- TED ALLEN ON DAVID HARRISON'S RECORD BREAKING BLOCK?“It's an honor to have a player of his caliber break my record because he's going to go on and have a long career in the NBA.”
