Colorado-Arizona Notes

 
Colorado improves to 11-3 over Arizona in Boulder and has won the last four games played against the Wildcats at the CU Events Center. Arizona leads the all-time series 21-15. 
 
Colorado improved to 7-1 at home on the year. Colorado is now 14-5 overall and 8-4 in Pac-12 play. The Buffaloes have moved up to third in the Pac-12 conference standings behind only No. 21 UCLA and USC. 
 
Colorado is 47-20 over its last 69 games (.701). The Buffaloes have the most wins of any Pac-12 team since Feb. 1, 2019 and the second best winning percentage (Oregon .742; 46-16).
 
The Buffaloes shot 29 of 52 from the field Saturday which was their highest percentage of the season at .558. 
 
The Buffaloes still lead the nation in free throw percentage at 83.7% but had their third worst free throw shooting game of the season Saturday shooting .765. The only games this season they have shot worse from the charity stripe were Jan. 11 against Utah (75.0) and Dec. 14 against Northern Colorado (73.3).
 
79 points is the most given up by the Buffaloes at home this season. The previous high was 77 given up against Utah on Jan. 30. 
 
Colorado has made 50.6 percent from 3-point range (40 of 79) in the last four games; since its 1 of 18 performance at Washington.
 
Tad Boyle - With a win Saturday Colorado Head Coach Tad Boyle notched his 100th conference win with the Buffaloes since taking over in 2010. He is just the second coach in Colorado history to reach that milestone (Sox Walseth, 148).
 
Evan Battey (21 points, 7-7 FT, 3 rebounds) tied his career-high in points. Battey was a perfect 7 of 7 from the free throw line including four made in the final minute of play. He has made his last 20 from the line and 59 of his last 65 (.908).
 
Jeriah Horne (10 points, 3 rebounds) With 10 points Saturday Horne reached 1,000 points in his collegiate career and now has 1,003 points total. 
 
McKinley Wright IV (17 points, 6 assists, 39 min) Wright finished in double figures and was a perfect 4 of 4 from the free throw line. Wright is also 26 points away from passing Emmett Lewis for ninth on the all-time Colorado scoring list. 
 
The duo of Wright and Battey have made 40 straight free throws dating back to a Wright miss in the second half at Washington (Battey’s current streak started early in the first half of that game, before the Wright miss later in the game). Individually, they’ve made their last 42 (Wright 22, Battey 20). Wright’s current streak is a personal-best and ties Jeriah Horne for the team’s season-best.
 
Eli Parquet (8 points, 2-3 3FG, 4 assists) career-high in assists. Hit two 3-pointers matching his personal single-game best; a mark he’s hit five times this season and eight overall in his career.
 
Tristan da Silva scored a career-best six points in 13 minutes
