Seton Hall-Colorado Postgame Notes
Colorado wins its fourth straight, its best string since winning five in a row to close out the nonconference portion of the 2008-09 season.
The Buffaloes improve to 6-1 for the first time since 2003-04 and are more than half way to their 2008-09 win total of 11.
TALES OF TWO HALFS: Colorado had arguably its worst first half in team history one year ago in the matchup against Seton Hall setting a program low 13 points on 19 percent shooting (5-of-27) as the Pirates cruised 77-40. The Buffaloes certainly made sure that wouldn't happen again. CU scored 39 points on 55 percent from the field (16-of-29) in the first 20 minutes today. CU had one less point and one more field goal in the first half than the Buffs had in the entire game last year.
