KJ Simpson led all scorers with 27 points as the Colorado Buffaloes took care of in-state rival Colorado State 93-65 on Thursday night.
The latest edition of the Rocky Mountain Showdown started out with both teams evenly matched. CU took a 38-30 lead going into halftime, but the second half was a much different story as CSU fell flat and couldn’t recover. A 7-2 run to start the final period was just the start of things to come. Simpson racked up almost half of his points in the first thirteen minutes of the half, putting CSU down by double-digits.
