Colorado's Josh Scott, right, shoots against Washington State's Josh Hawkinson during the first half Saturday. (

What went right: For one of the few times this season, turnovers were not an issue for CU. The Buffs committed just one in the first half and matched a season-low with six overall. CU also continued its stellar season at the free throw line by going 22-for-26.

What went wrong: Early foul trouble for the post tandem of Wesley Gordon and Josh Scott helped Washington State reserve forward Conor Clifford break loose for 18 points on an 8-for-9 showing from the floor.
