Fast break
CU had great energy to start the game and that kept the Buffs in it for a while.
The Buffs were mentally and physically defeated in the second half. They couldn't hit shots, turned the ball over and made poor decisions in helping USC take control with a stunning 37-5 run over a stretch of 11 minutes.
Brecca Thomas. The senior came off the bench for 12 points and two steals in 19 minutes.
CU will host No. 14 UCLA on Sunday at 4 p.m.
Midway through the third quarter on Friday night, Southern California's Jordan Adams stepped in front of a Colorado pass and sprinted down the court for an easy layup.
