BOULDER — When Tre'Shaun Fletcher's first-half 3-point attempt slammed the front of the rim and shot skyward Wednesday night, it seemed a foregone conclusion that the basketball would somehow still find a home at the bottom of the net.

Bounce. Roll. Basket.

It was that kind of night for the best 3-point shooting team in the Pac-12 Conference.

Behind an unrelenting barrage of long-range baskets, Colorado blasted Stanford 91-75 in front of 8,001 fans at Coors Event Center, completing a season sweep of the Cardinal.

It was the fourth victory in five games for the Buffs (16-5, 5-3 Pac-12), who shot 13-of-19 as a team from 3-point range while moving within a half-game of first place in the conference.
