BOULDER, Colo. – Oregon couldn't overcome a slow start and fell 73-51 Saturday night at the CU Events Center.
How It Happened: Oregon (13-9, 4-5 Pac-12) began the game with a few plays that seemed promising. Freshman Will Richardson picked up right where he left off in his explosive game against Utah, finishing beautifully at the rim to give the Ducks their first points of the night. Two possessions later, Pritchard effortlessly knocked down a three-pointer that didn't even graze the rim.
But shortly after, Colorado (12-9, 3-6 Pac-12) took control in Boulder. A combination of effective rebounding from the Buffs and Oregon foul trouble allowed the home team to go on a 17-0 run.
