Â
Derrick White (35 points, 5 assists, 3 blocks, 10-of-20 FG, 12-of-12 FT) - His 35 points are the most by a Buff since Askia Booker had 43 in triple overtime at USC on Jan. 29, 2015 and the first overall 30-point game since Josh Scott had 32 at Washington State on March 7, 2015. It’s the most points in regulation since Alec Burks scored 36 against Missouri on Jan. 8, 2011. It’s tied for the seventh most in a true road game (see chart below); done four other times, most recently by Chauncey Billups at Nebraska on Feb. 5, 1997.
