Colorado fell to 2-1 with the loss while San Diego improved to 4-1.
The Buffs led at several junctures of the game, including 61-60 with just 1:56 to go after a pair of free throws from McKinley Wright IV.
But Colorado couldn't get a stop on the other end and the Toreros scored six straight points to regain control.
