Colorado (11-8, 2-5) entered Maples with a 9 game winning streak against Stanford (10-10, 3-5). They left it with a 1 game losing streak.
In the first half CU showed great composure adapting to the variety of looks the Stanford defense threw at them. They worked the ball around and attacked the teeth of the zone, scoring 26 in the paint by the break. Stanford found itself out of position frequently, and they paid the price. “We need to work on the nuances,” said Coach Haase.
Stanford’s offense had another rocky start, at one point going 7 minutes between field goals.
