It wasn't always pretty, but the Buffs got off the mat and delivered a strong performance that kept the fans awake late on a Wednesday night. Despite turnovers, inconsistent shooting, and a brilliant performance by Oregon State's Gary Payton II, CU led for most of the night and pulled away at the end of the game for the first time in over a month to win by 17.
The Buffs were careless with the basketball once again tonight, turning it over 18 times; nine in each half. Many of these were easily avoidable and they weren't the kind of plays one hoped to see from a team coming off a loss largely caused by a lack of execution.
