Buffs come back to defeat Stanford, 81-74, in emotion-filled game

The No. 24-ranked Colorado Buffaloes (19-5, 8-3 Pac-12 ) rallied from a 16-point halftime deficit to defeat the Stanford Cardinal 81-74 at the CU Events Center Saturday evening.

Stanford (16-7, 5-5 Pac-12) entered the game short-handed with starting sophomore guard Bryce Wills missing the game due to an ankle injury that he suffered in SU’s 64-56 overtime loss at Utah. Unfortunately for the Cardinal, there was more to come, and in shocking and dramatic fashion, on the note of injuries.

Sophomore forward Evan Battey collides with Stanford Cardinal forward Oscar da Silva, causing a head injury for da Silva.
