After not faring very well in the state of Washington on its most recent road trip, the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team can find solace in the fact that it will finish the season in the cozy confines of the CU Events Center, where the Buffs boast a solid 10-2 record.
Colorado (17-11, 8-8 Pac-12) welcomed its state neighbors, the Utah Utes, to Boulder in the first contest of this three-game homestand to finish the season. Home-court advantage favored CU on Saturday evening as the Buffaloes beat the Utes, 71-63.
It didn’t take Colorado long to get on the board to begin the game, as sophomore forward D’Shawn Schwartz opened the scoring just 25 seconds after tip-off.
