BOULDER — Colorado's George King scored 25 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for his eighth career double-double Sunday to lead the Buffs to an 81-69 win over Air Force at the Coors Events Center.
The Buffs overcame a hot-shooting Falcons team to collect their sixth straight win to start the season while AFA dropped to 3-2. The 6-0 start matches Colorado's best beginning of a season since 2012-13, when CU also jumped out to a 6-0 start.
Freshman McKinley Wright added 19 points and five rebounds the Buffs finished with a commanding 41-21 edge on the boards to overcome an 11-for-26 night by the Falcons from 3-point range.
