Colorado moves to 3-0 for the second straight season but just the fourth time since 2002-03. The Buffaloes will take on Drake Saturday, looking for their first 4-0 start since 2012-13.
Colorado has won 24 of its last 29 against nonconference regular season opponents.
Colorado trailed by 13 (60-47) with just under four minutes left before ending the game on a 23-9 run. It marked the largest comeback with under five minutes left in team history. The previous best was 12 coming against Wyoming on Dec. 10, 1981.
Colorado went 8:16 without a field goal in the second half. Namon Wright hit a layup at the 10:22 mark that trimmed Quinnipiac’s lead to 48-45, but the Buffaloes managed just seven free throws until a George King layup made it 61-54 in Quinnipiac’s favor with 2:06 remaining. The Buffaloes missed 10 straight field goal attempts during that span.
The freshman class scored 22 of Colorado’s 32 first half points (McKinley Wright – 14, Tyler Bey – 6, D’Shawn Schwartz – 2), eventually finishing with 31.

McKinley Wright IV (21 points, 8-12 FG, 5 reb) recorded career and team season-highs in points and field goals made and attempted. His 14 first half points matched what had been Colorado’s high for a game this season (Namon Wright vs Denver).
