Colorado-Texas Notes
Colorado narrows Texas’ lead in the all-time series to 14-10 and has won the last two. This was the first meeting between the two former Big 12 Conference rivals since Colorado joined the Pac-12 for the 2011-12 season. It was Colorado’s second neutral site win over the Longhorns in five tries.
Â
Colorado’s 13 wins over ranked opponents in Boyle’s seventh season is by far the best streak in team history. In fact Boyle coached teams, with a record of 13-24, have accounted for 23 percent of wins over ranked opponents (57) since 1949-50.
Â
It was Colorado’s first win over a ranked nonconference opponent since its 75-72 win over No. 6/7 Kansas on Dec. 7, 2013. It was Colorado’s first win over a ranked opponent away from Boulder since a 76-53 win over No. 19 Oregon on March 7, 2013.
Â
Colorado’s five free throw attempts were its fewest since having four against Utah on Jan. 8, 2016. The Buffaloes, who hit four of those attempts, are 50-of-59 over the last three games (.847).
Â
Colorado bounced back on the boards. After losing the rebound margin to Notre Dame by three (41-38), Colorado held a double-digit rebound lead for much of the game against Texas, ending at plus-9 (41-32).
Â
George King (12 points, 13 rebounds) – Recorded his second straight double-double and third in his career. Matched his career-high 13 rebounds set last night against Notre Dame. King had 29 points and 26 rebounds over the two-day series (14.5 ppg, 13.0 rpg). King had 10 rebounds in the first half alone. He entered the week with 16 rebounds in his first three games combined.
Â
Wesley Gordon (6 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks) – His first multi-block game of the year, puts him at 161 overall for his career tying Ted Allen (1992-95) for third place on CU’s all-time list. He needs just one to match former teammate Josh Scott (2012-16) for second at 162. Gordon has at least nine rebounds in four of five games this season and leads Colorado at 9.6 per game.
Â
Derrick White (16 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks) – Led Colorado in scoring for the second time this season. Made his lone free throw attempt, increasing his streak to 11 straight over three games since going an uncharacteristic 3-of-8 against Seattle U.
Â
Josh Fortune (11 points, 2-of-2 FT) extended his team-best streak of consecutive free throws made to 15.
