Buffs Bounce Back, Pummel Oregon At Home
BOULDER — No KJ Simpson proved to be no problem Thursday for the Colorado Buffaloes.
With their leading scorer out with an illness, the rest of the Buffs stepped up and played one of their best games of the season, dominating Oregon in a 68-41 victory at the CU Events Center.
Tad Boyle's Buffs improved to 10-6 overall and 2-3 in Pac-12 play while Oregon fell to 8-7, 2-2.
The Buffs, coming off a disappointing loss at Cal, were a different team Thursday. CU jumped out to an early lead and never trailed. Colorado led by 18 at the half, 37-19, and extended the margin to as much as 27 in the second half as they never let the Ducks mount a comeback.
