BERKELEY, Calif. — For arguably the first time all season, the Colorado men's basketball team has a meaningful measure of momentum in its corner.

The disastrous 0-7 start in Pac-12 Conference play the Buffaloes suffered through may not have quite put the Buffaloes into a win-or-go-home situation in regards to their NCAA Tournament dreams, but that is close to the reality for CU.

The Buffs responded with two wins last week that included an upset against then-No. 10 Oregon. On Thursday night they cleared another hurdle, ending a 10-game road losing streak within the Pac-12 by holding off Stanford for their third consecutive win.
