Colorado-Arizona State Notes

TEAM NOTES

Colorado improves its overall record to 14-2 and 3-2 in the Pac-12. Tonight's win gives Colorado its best record after 16 games since the 2003-04 NCAA Tournament team started 14-2, eventually improving to 18-2.
The Buffs are now 10-2 in their overall meetings with the Sun Devils and improve to 6-1 against ASU in Boulder. Tonight was CU's first win over Arizona State as a Pac-12 opponent.
Arizona State has been averaging 3.8 three-point field goals and surpassed that average in the first half with 6. The Sun Devils ended the night with 8 three-point field goals.
At the half, CU trailed ASU 26-22. This is only the third time the Buffs have trailed at the half this year and improved to 2-1.
Colorado ended the first half with 0-3 from the 3-point line. It was just the second time all season the Buffs didn't make a first half 3-pointer (0-6 vs. Stanford)
The Buffs have held their opponents to a .269 field goal percentage (38-of-141) since the second half of the Utah home game (Jan. 8/2 ½ games/100 minutes)
Colorado is allowing just 50.6 points over the five Pac-12 games. CU has held its last two to 43 points each, the first time the Buffaloes have held an opponent under 45 in conference play since 1996-97, the Buffs Big 12 Tournament Championship year. CU won at Texas A&M 69-40 on Feb. 8 and defeated Oklahoma at home 61-42 on Feb. 12.
Arizona State was held to 17 points on 4-of-30 from the field in the second half. The four field goals are one shy of a school record (3 vs. Texas State 12/1/10 and Kansas State 3/7/92). The 13.3 percent allowed was just a fraction off the all-time opponent low for a half, 13.0 (3-of-23) vs. Kansas State on 3/7/92).
