PALO ALTO, Calif. – The Colorado Buffaloes barely escaped the Bay Area trip with a split, beating Stanford 56-55 in Maples Pavilion. CU improved to 12-3 on the year and 1-1 in conference play with tonight’s effort.
The Buffs were up by as much as 16 points in the second half, but a cold shooting streak and a collection of turnovers saw their lead cut to one. Fortunately for CU, time ran out right before Stanford could completely wash away CU’s lead.
Colorado steamed out to a hot start with wet shooting, getting out to a 22-10 lead behind three three-pointers.
