Colorado-Stanford Notes
Colorado has a season-best five-game win streak.
Â
Tad Boyle wins his 111th Pac-12 Conference regular season game to take sole possession of 19th in conference history
Â
Colorado has won five of its last six Pac-12 road games improves to 12-10 since the 2020-21 season. The Buffaloes now have won at least one game during each of its last eight multi-contest Pac-12 road trips. Colorado will look for its fourth road trip sweep since joining the Pac-12 when the Buffs play at Cal on Saturday. Â
Â
Colorado wins for the second time in six games this season when trailing at the half (the other was Tennessee). Stanford falls for the first time in five games this year when leading at the break.
Â
Stanford’s Spencer Jones had 25 points – the most by a CU opponent this season.
Â
KJ Simpson (31 points, 11-23 FG, 8-9 FT, 7 rebounds) career-high 31 points and the first Buff since Derrick White in 2016-17 to have two or more 30-point games in a single season (White had four that season). His 31 points were the most by a Buffalo since White had 31 against Arizona in the quarterfinals of the 2017 Pac-12 Tournament. Simpson tied a career-high with 11 field goals and his 23 attempts were the most by a Buffalo in regulation since Richard Roby had 24 against Pepperdine on Dec. 4, 2006. Overall the 23 was the most since Askia Booker had 23 in a triple-overtime win over USC on Jan. 29, 2015. Simpson is 19 of 22 from the line over the last two games.
Â
Luke O’Brien (12 points, 4-6 FG, 3-3 3FG, 6 rebounds) season-high in points and tied a career-high in 3-pointers made. Went 3-for-3 from deep after starting the season 3-of-20 from long range. Registered his third straight game in double-figures (11.0 ppg) – had just one his first 52 collegiate outings.
Â
Lawson Lovering (10 points, 5-6 FG, 5 rebounds) career-high in points and field goals made. Had been just 4 of 11 from the field over his previous seven games for a total of 14 points.
