The University of Colorado Buffaloes secured a stress-free victory on Monday against the Oregon State Beavers after their two previous games contained blown leads and second half disasters. In front of a small crowd of friends and family at the CU Events Center, the Buffs hoped for a more substantial win to continue their rise in the ranks.
Freshman forward Tristan da Silva had what was easily the best game of his young career. The 6-foot-8 forward produced 15 points, four rebounds, and one assist, all matching or passing his previous career-highs. He also spent 20 minutes on the court, 7 longer than his prior record of 13 minutes, and went 6-for-6 in field goal attempts.
