Death, taxes and Colorado blowing the doors off of Oregon at the CU Events Center. Tad Boyle remains undefeated against the Ducks at home after a 68-41 win that was over after ten minutes of play.
The Buffs were without star guard K.J. Simpson tonight — a combination of an ankle injury and illness, per Mark Johnson — but they had no problem scoring early on. For as good as Simpson is, he does get a bit trigger happy and the Buffs moved the ball selflessly in his absence. Perhaps it was a product of the pass-first Julian Hammond running point guard, or Oregon playing a zone defense that necessitated a string of passes for every open look.
