Colorado’s five free throws made tied a season low (at Oregon)
Arizona made its first 20 free throws of the game before finishing 22 of 23 from the line.
George King (22 points, 6 rebounds, 9-12 FG, 4-5 3FG) has made 22 of 46 from 3-point range (.478) over the last five games. He reached 20 points for the fifth time this season and 15th time in his career. King became the 21st player in team history to reach 600 rebounds (601). He also leaped from 25th to 22nd in career scoring at 1,182. His nine overall field goals tied a season high (Air Force).
McKinley Wright IV (15 points, 7 assists, 6-9 FG, 2-2 3FG) recorded at least five assists for the 13th time this season and the 10th time in 11 games. He now has 112 on the season ranking 26th on CU’s all-time season list and remains the fourth most by a freshman in team history.

Bey logged his fourth career double-figure scoring game and second straight. He has also pulled down at least seven rebounds in four of the last five contests.
