The Colorado Buffaloes finally did the impossible and beat a team they’re better than. Despite struggling down the stretch, the Buffs managed to defeat the previously undefeated Yale Bulldogs, 65-62.
The Buffs started strong thanks in large part to Tristan da Silva’s aggressiveness as a scorer and initiator. The 6’10 junior can get a bucket pretty much whenever he wants, but it seems that he doesn’t know how good of a scorer he really is. He scored 20 points today in a variety of ways, getting to the basket, hitting pull-up jumpers and finishing maybe the most impressive layup since Alec Burks.
