o Colorado leads the series against the Cowbodys (4-3) since the Big 12 inception. The home team has won all of them.
o There were five ties and three lead changes in the first half.
o This is the first time since the polls were expanded to the Top 25 from the Top 20 in 1989-90, that CU has defeated four ranked teams in the same year (in both polls).
o Colorado upset a school record fourth nationally ranked team (No. 3 Texas, No. 6 Knasas, No. 22 Missouri). Colorado is now 4-2 against ranked teams this year.
o 5-0 or more runs: CU 5 CU (8-0, 5-0, 6-0, 10-0, 5-0); OSU 2 OSU (5-0, 6-0)
o David Harrison's offensive rebounds are a high and second most offensive boards a player has had this season behind Pelle's (offensive again) against Stetson.
o Glean Eddy received the starting nod for the first time in his career. He is the third freshmen to start a game for CU this season (Antoine McGee and Jayson Obazuaye).
o Colorado's win over OSU is the eleventh straight home win--which is a record for a men's team at the Coors Events Center--breaking the 1979-80 team's ten straight wins.
o David Harrison scored 14 points and had 16 rebounds to pick up his eighth double-double of the season, and the 12th of his career.

o James Wright had a season high of eight assists, the most for a Buffalo this season.
o Pelle's 14 points and 11 rebounds gave him his 11th double-double of the season, and 36th of his career. He now has sole possession of fourth place on the all-time double-double charts.
