The No. 25 University of Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team defeated the San Diego Toreros 71-53 in CU’s home-opener Saturday night at the CU Events Center. The Buffaloes got off to a slow start in the first half but put together an 18-0 scoring run in the second half to take control of the game.
CU faced off against the Toreros for the seventh time in school history and earned an important win after losing to a strong San Diego team the last two seasons.
“It was a workman-like win, if you will,” said head coach Tad Boyle.
