BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Andy Osborn scored 15 points and Richard Roby added 14 as Colorado routed independent South Dakota State 82-49 Monday night.
Osborn was 5-for-9 on 3-pointers as Colorado (13-10) won for the third time in four games. The Buffaloes' most lopsided win of the year came two days after a 29-point loss to Kansas.
Sophomore Marcus Hall had a career-high 10 assists and added 11 points for the Buffaloes.
Colorado allowed a season-low 49 points against South Dakota State (7-16).
Steve Holdren led South Dakota State, a first-year Division I program, with 16 points. Ben Beran had 14.
The Jackrabbits shot 35 percent and matched a season low in scoring in falling to 1-11 on the road.
Substituting freely in the first half, Colorado shot 56 percent. With Roby scoring 12 points, Colorado built a 37-20 by halftime.
The Buffaloes held the Jackrabbits scoreless for nearly four minutes to start the game.
South Dakota State trailed by only 13-11 after baskets by Michael Loney and Beran with 12:10 left, but Colorado went on a 10-0 run to lead 23-11. Roby, 2-for-3 on 3-pointers, had his second to keep the lead in double figures over the last 4:35.
Osborn had three 3-pointers to start the second half and when Hall drained a 3-pointer with 15:34 left, Colorado's lead grew to 54-28. South Dakota State connected on only 11-of-33 shots in the second half.
