Colorado-Texas Notes

Colorado snaps a six-game losing streak, its longest of the season, and also halts an eight-game losing streak to Texas which was the longest current streak a Big 12 opponent had over the Buffaloes. Texas still holds a 13-4 all-time series lead.

Colorado's 15 point margin over Texas was its most against a Big 12 Southern Division team since defeating Oklahoma State 72-57 on Feb. 21, 2004, in Boulder.

Colorado outrebounded Texas 50-29, it's largest rebounding margin since a 32-rebound advantage against Colorado State on Dec. 1. It's also the most rebounds CU has had against a Big 12 team since pulling down 51 against Missouri on Feb. 9, 2005.

Colorado led 34-29 at halftime, its first halftime lead since a 29-22 advantage against Kansas on Jan. 22. The halftime score has been big for the Buffaloes as they improve to 14-1 with the first half advantage as opposed to 0-10 when trailing at the half.

Sophomore Bianca Smith tied school records for 3-point field goals made in a game with seven and also 3-poniters made and attempted in one half by hitting 5-of-9. It's the fifth time a CU player has had seven 3-pointers in a game, done by four players (Kate Fagan did it twice). Veronica Johns-Richardson was the last Buff to do it on Dec. 29, 2004.

Smith's five 3-pointers matched efforts by Shelley Sheetz at Tennessee on Dec. 20, 1993 and Fagan at Syracuse on Dec. 31, 2002. Her nine 3-point attempts matched Sheetz's nine at Tennessee. Smith moved her career total to 94, ninth on CU's all-time list
