No. 24 CU Buffs outlasts Cal down the stretch
BOULDER, CO – FEBRUARY 6, 2020: Colorado’s Tyler Bey gets a rebound against California during the February 6, 2020 in Boulder. (Cliff Grassmick/Staff Photographer)It wasn’t nearly as pleasing to the eye as last week’s dismantling of USC on the road, but with the second half of the Pac-12 Conference schedule officially underway, style points are far less critical than results.
And the 24th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes got the result they needed Thursday night.
Surviving a hot shooting night by Cal, the Buffs pulled away late for a 71-65 win in a Pac-12 battle at the CU Events Center. The Buffs improved to 18-5 overall and 7-3 in the league heading into Saturday’s home date against Stanford.
