Colorado Rallies for 73-63 Win over Washington State

Senior Josh Hawkinson ends Cougar career with school-record 1,015 rebounds.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Colorado rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit to defeat Washington State, 73-63, Wednesday in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament at T-Mobile Arena.

Colorado's Derrick White scored 17 of his 26 points in the second half, Xavier Johnson added 19.

Colorado (19-13) got off to a miserable start at both ends as Washington State raced out to a 19-point lead. The seventh-seeded Buffaloes whittled into the lead by halftime and overtook the Cougars in the second behind White, who made 8 of 15 shots.
