Colorado-Stanford Notes

vs
Montana State

Nov 3 (Mon)

7 p.m.

Colorado improved to 20-9 on the season, marking the 14th 20-win season in team history. Ten of those 20-win seasons have come under head coach Tad Boyle (since 2010-11).
 
Colorado finishes the regular season with a 16-1 record at the CU Events Center, tying for the most regular season home wins in a season joining the 2015-16 (16-1) and 2013-14 (16-2) teams at that mark (the 2010-11 team won a school-record 18 home games, which included three postseason NIT victories).
 
With 11 Pac-12 wins, Colorado has a winning record in conference play for the ninth times in 13 Pac-12 seasons.  CU had nine seasons with winning conference records from 1963-64 through 2010-11 (9 winning, 36 losing, 3 .500).  Boyle has 9, Sox Walseth 5, Ricardo Patton 4. The Buffs have a chance to reach 13 wins which would finish as second in Boyle’s tenure at Colorado only behind the 2020-21 season (14-6).
 
Colorado moved to 20-11 all-time against Stanford, and 13-1 at home and extends the winning streak to seven going back to 2020-21.
 
Colorado shot 53.2 percent from the field (33-62), marking the 17th time the Buffaloes have shot 50 percent or better from the field this season, the most in one season in team history. Colorado is 15-2 this season, and 109-9 in the Tad Boyle era when shooting at least 50 percent.
 
The Buffaloes have shot at least 50 percent the last five games, the most consecutive games hitting at least 50 percent since early in the 1994-95 nonconference schedule when the Buffs had five in a row from Dec. 2-20, 1994. The Buffs are shooting 52.5 percent in that span (149-284).
 
Colorado had a season-low four free throws made. The fewest at home since having just three against Utah on Jan. 8, 2016 (3-of-4).
 
Tristan da Silva (27 points, 11 rebounds, 5 made 3-pointers, 2 steals) In his 90th career start scored a new season-high in points and rebounds. Set career highs for 3-point field goals made (5) and attempted (10). Moved up to 17th all-time in points scored with 1,332 and No. 10 in 3-pointers made with 134. Registered his fourth career double-double, the second of the season.
 
KJ Simpson (22 points, 7 assists, 5 made -pointers, 4 rebounds, 1 steal) now has 577 points this season, passing fellow teammate da Silva for 13th (556 in 2022-23), on CU’s single-season list. Tied with Chauncey Billups (1996-97) for 16th in season assists with 139. Entered the top 10 in career assists, now with 336 passing Askia Booker (2011-15) and Gordon Tope (1967-70) who both had 334. Fourth game this season with at least five made 3-pointers. Recorded his 18th 20-point game of the season and 14th with at least five assists. Played the entire game for only the second time this season (played career high 47:51 in double overtime game against USC).
 
It’s the seventh time this season the Buffaloes have had two players score at least 20 points in a game and third in a row.
 
J’Vonne Hadley (15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block) scored in double-digits for the 19th time this season. Colorado is 6-2 when he scores 15 points or more.
 
Eddie Lampkin (11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) scored in double-digits for the 16th time this season. Has hit 50 percent or better in 16 of the last 17 games and for the 22nd time in 29 games overall.
 
Bangot Dak (3 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 assist, 1 steal) in his first 14 games had only one block, had two blocks in the first half.
 
With Cody Williams and Julian Hammond missing the game due to injury, it marked the 15th time in 29 games (over half the games) where the Buffaloes did not have their top seven rotational players at the same time.
