After an ugly first half at Auburn on Tuesday, the Colorado men’s basketball fought back in the second half to earn their first victory of the year, 91-84.

The Buffaloes’ success can be summed with two names: George King and Josh Scott.

Redshirt sophomore King built upon his success in Colorado’s first game against Iowa State and scored 27 points and grabbed seven rebounds against the Tigers.

Throughout his entire freshman year, King scored 41 points. He’s easily matched that number in his first two games back from his time off.
