Boulder, Colo. • No matter how bullish anyone may be on this radically young University of Utah men’s basketball team, and there is certainly reason to be at the midway point of the season, there were going to be games like this.
No. 25 Colorado is the second-oldest team in the Pac-12. It ranks No. 1 in continuity on authoritative stats-driven website KenPom.com, which means no roster in the country has played together more than the Buffaloes. Both factors were on full display Sunday afternoon.
Colorado ripped off 14 of the first 16 points, while intent on not giving up anything down the other end.
