Buffs beat UIC 84-72 to extend win streak to five

With an enthusiastic crowd behind them, the Colorado Buffaloes defeated the University of Illinois at Chicago wire-to-wire in the CU Events Center on Saturday afternoon.

Thanks to sophomore guard/forward Tyler Bey’s double-double and sophomore guard McKinley Wright’s near double-double, Colorado was able to finish their four-game home stand undefeated.

Wright knocked down a three pointer on the Buffs’ first possession, which set the tone for his great performance. He finished with 21 points, six rebounds, nine assists and a perfect 8-8 night at the free throw line.

“I want to try and be at least 90 percent from the free throw line.
