BOULDER — Colorado coach Tad Boyle wanted a 40-minute effort from his Buffaloes and they produced in a big way Thursday night.
The Buffs played one of their best overall games of the season, using a big second half to bury rival Colorado State, 93-65, before an ecstatic CU Events Center crowd that included an appearance from new CU football coach Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders.
CU improved to 5-5 with the win while CSU dropped to 6-4.
The first half featured seven lead changes and four ties before the Buffs used a late 10-2 run to take a 38-30 lead at intermission.
