The Colorado Buffaloes won back-to-back games for the first time this season as they defeated the North Alabama Lions, 84-60.
The Buffs were led by junior forward Tristan da Silva, who put up 25 points and 9 rebounds, both career highs. The German national has figured out that his combination of size, skill and weirdness are really difficult to stop. He’s now averaging 16.6 points on 13.4 field goal attempts in the last five games, up from 10.8 points and 8.2 attempts, respectively in the previous five games.
As da Silva got cooking, the rest of Buffs overcame a slow start, worked hard on defense, and by the end of the first half had full control of the game.
