UT-CU Notes

Texas- Colorado Postgame NOTES

Texas has won two straight over Colorado and improves its all-time lead in the series to 15-4

Colorado drops its season-high fifth straight game and has lost seven of its last eight overall.

Colorado has lost its last four at the Coors Events/Conference Center, its first four-game losing streak at home since 2005-06 (Iowa State-Texas A&M-Texas-Kansas State).

The 24-point loss was CU's worst at home since dropping an 87-41 decision to Texas Tech on Jan. 15, 2005.

Colorado 50 points at home are its fewest since a 63-50 loss to Baylor on Jan. 10, 2009.

Colorado drops its 18th straight game against a ranked opponent and 15th straight to a team ranked in both the AP and WBCA Coaches poll (Iowa State was ranked only in the WBCA poll in the meeting earlier this season as was Kansas State in two meetings in 2008-09). CU's last win over a ranked opponent was a 73-68 home win over No. 15/15 Kansas State on Feb. 23, 2008.

Colorado drops to 50-124 all-time against ranked teams.

Field goal percentage disparity has been a key factor in CU's last three games, all against ranked opponents. Nebraska, Baylor and Texas have all shot above 51 percent while Colorado cracked 40 percent in just one of those three outings:

Opponent FG's PTS Colorado FG's PTS

Nebraska 28-51, .549 80 23-52, .442 64

Baylor 29-56, .518 76 13-55, .236 42

Texas 29-54, .537 74 19-51, .373 50

Totals 86-161, .534 76.7 55-158, .348 51.3

Texas scored the first 14 points as the Buffaloes went scoreless until the 14:56 mark when Bianca Smith sank a 3-pointer.

Junior Brittany Spears was held to just five points. It is just the second time in her career she has been held to single-digits in back-to-back games (she scored nine at Baylor). She scored four points at Texas Tech and was held scoreless at Iowa State during her freshman year (2007-08). She has still scored in double-digits in 50 of her last 55 games and 73 of 85 career outings.

Freshman Melissa MacFarlane played a career high 22 minutes, passing her previous best of 12 which was Saturday at Baylor. She tied a career high with three rebounds, set a personal best with two field goals and had a Big 12 personal best four points.

Sophomore Alyssa Fressle had 11 points, one off her season high (12 at Texas Tech) and matched a season-high with three steals.

Freshman Chucky Jeffery led CU with 12 points, giving her double-digits in scoring in seven of the last 11 games.
