Tristan da Silva scored 20 points and KJ Simpson added a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double to give Colorado a 60-53 win over Boise State to cap the First Four action in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.
Colorado's late 11-0 run, which turned a 49-45 deficit into a 56-49 lead, put this game away.
Da Silva kicked it off with a three-pointer shortly before the under-four timeout. Simpson also scored eight more points down the stretch. The play of this run, though, was courtesy of Eddie Lampkin Jr., whose shot clock-beating putback gave Colorado a 54-49 edge with 33 seconds remaining.
